About the work

LOG OUT

LOG OUT
A sequence of extreme physical endeavors through the encounters of bodies and logs.
A group of performers are thrown into a sequence of extreme bodily endeavors which manifest in their physical encounters with wooden logs. Ruled by hidden regularities, they carry out various activities; dragging or knocking the logs, rubbing against them, experimenting with balance exercises, or trying to escape the risks of their own games. Through their reciprocal dynamics, the body and the logs return to their basic modalities as raw materials, defined by their volume, weight, or texture.
This piece oscillates between subtlety and rawness, poetry and aggression, consideration and maliciousness, egoism and collaboration.
This is a tough world, but not necessarily Cruel. Danger surrounds everything. It is caused by the performers, and their proclivity to risks. As a bodily affect, danger stands here also as an artistic offering. It suggests a new interpretation as to the notions of vitality, somatic existence, and their role in our disruptive era.

 

THE ARTIST

Kazuyo Shionoiri (Tokyo, 1984) and Dror Liberman (Beer Sheva, 1988) are a couple in life and on stage, creating together since 2016, in various genres of performing arts. Both active members in Clipa Theater for the last decade.
During the years Kazuyo and Dror present their performances on many stages is Israel and around the world (Germany, Japan, Croatia, Bulgaria, Albania, Norway, Switzerland, Spain, Check republic and more).
Their works demonstrate a wide scale of skills and abilities. It is hard to relate their works to one style or to one specific genre, as they strive to create a new language in every piece they make, referring to existential questions appearing in daily life.
Noam Ben Israel (Malkishua, 1998) is a dancer and creator, works with choreographers such a Sharon Fridamn, Vertigo Dance Company, his piece BARZEL 6 presented in Suzanne Dellal Centre last summer.
