1992

Artistic Director: Amos Hetz
Producer: Diana Shoef
Lighting: Shai Yehudai

From the start of our activities it was clear that we would try to bring to the festival similar approaches from the past. This time Claudia Jeschke reconstructed Nijinsky’s famous dance L’Après-midi d’un Faun from its original score.

Another important contribution was the German group of vocalists Maulwerker, directed by Dieter Schnebel. Their exploration of voice is similar to the way we research movement, looking for the poetics of the separate units of material, and using them to construct an expressive art.
