matanicola
Exploring the idea of creating a common identity. Hiding behind acquired behaviors, stereotyped gestures and obsessive movements. Confronting contradictions and similarities of our cultural and religious background. Playing with the perception of intimacy and gender expectation.

yasmeen godder
Transformation of one's identity as a way of communicating in a relationship. How the play of different "identities" and different "characteristics" of oneself, becomes a way of communicating in a couple. Exploring interior worlds that are made up of strings of private and national identity, played out in shifting social and cultural connotations.

In cooperation with Kulturb?ro Sophien. Supported by European Association for Jewish Culture, the Israel Cultural Excellence Foundation (IcExcellence), the Embassy of Israel, Berlin and Ambassade de France Berlin.
