Niv Sheinfeld and Oren Laor Dance Projects: Ship of Fools

A staged work that uses movement and text to examine the fragile encounter between human distinction and interpersonal contact.

Three characters coexist alongside one another, while each is bound in a closed, protected world of his own. Nonetheless, the encounter between them is inevitable. As the boundaries separating the characters are crossed, their personal baggage falls apart and becomes exposed. Ship of Fools is a stage work which uses movement and text, to examine the fragile encounter between the human need to protect one's distinctiveness from destruction or alteration and his yearning for interpersonal contact, for understanding and the acceptance of his internal world by the other.
