Ruby Frances Jones / Omer Keinan

vignettes – Ruby Frances Jones - This solo performance is a series of images, cut and pasted. Each image frames a figure whose posture is born from a feeling or memory. The face each figure wears asks for their gesture and body to be heard.

Using improvisation, gesture, facial expressions and masks, physical form and/or deformation is enhanced to support different characters. The audience is invited to engage with the themes of death, transference, spectacle, birth, irony, ambition and survival.

Mythologies – Omer Keinan (Durational Performance)

An invitation to tell stories from everyday life in order to bring them into the space and let them become a shared narrative. Stories from yesterday, from weeks ago, from years ago, connected to an experience that still resonates. Together, the myths contained in them, which are also contained in all of us, are unraveled together.

The concept of mythology is examined as a cultural phenomenon that shapes the way of life and belief system of a community. Often disguised as “natural” reason, it is rather a discursive practice that profoundly changes our perception of reality and thus our ability to deal with it.

How people report their own experiences says a lot about the meaning we attribute to reality. The more stories are told, the more the symbolic order of myths can be deciphered. By setting this process in motion through an improvisational, embodied practice, the body is considered as a material in which mythology is inscribed and therefore has the potential to scandalize it; a performative wobbling produces the complicated and erotic deconstruction of myths.

In this shorter version, two stories are activated in a relatively dense and theatrical atmosphere.
