Cell in a Human Scale




To watch the performance CLIP


A multi-disciplinary duet performance based on a personal story. The two performers “live” inside a protected and sterile white space. In this space, they examine their relationships with each other and their relations to the environment. The performance space is composed of images projected simultaneously from several projectors. These images define the space and create a unique architecture, as well as represent the performer’s inner world.

From the Press:

" Its a shaking and troubling piece that dosnt leave the viewer long after he left the space...”

(Merav Yudilevitch – Ynet)


"the piece is indeed a dialog between the creators that managed to unite the two voices into one powerful voice that blows the viewer, not letting him remain indifferent or watch from the sidelines... “

(Zvi Goren – Habama)


"Cell in a Human Scale is an expressive work of art. Speaking to the senses and emotions it has the ability to go beyond statistics and logic to open minds and hearts.”

(Ayelet Dekel – Midnighteast)


Azimi brought his wealth of movement knowledge and his desire to explore new possibilities for his own performances, Erde’s handiwork is projected on the walls of the white space, at once filling the performance arena with images and emotions.As the piece unfolds, the stage takes on a life of its own, morphing and offering new stimuli for the two trapped performers”

(Ori J.Lenkinski – Jerusalem Post)
