FOREVER/NEVER

Clipa Theater

(Tel Aviv/Israel)

---

Images of bodies in an infinite loop, dissolved in the tiniest detail of movement. Anger, fear, grief and protest – sometimes hyperrealistic, sometimes abstract and unreal. With disturbing magnetism, shocking beauty and along the dividing lines between visual arts, dance and performance, FOREVER/NEVER focuses on the ever-present violence in daily life in Israel which is inextricably tied to the history of its people. In dialogue with the specifics of each location, the performers develop tableaux for different forms of existing violence. Here, the viewers decide for themselves how long they want to witness along this path of Passion.

The Clipa Theater was founded in 1995 in Tel Aviv by the Israeli dancer and director Idit Herman and the late Russian actor and musician Dmitry Tyulpanov, who died in 2015. The encounter and long-standing partnership between the two artists led to a unique form of theatre that interweaves drama, dance, design and music.
