Mitcha Figa

12-13 June, 19:30, The Warehouse

(Israel)

Six actors in red suits push themselves to the limit in a surreal setting to answer the question – can a person live in a world of ambition and achievement without leaving a trace. After the performance, the audience sleeps on stage.

Kos (Norwegian) — Cosiness, warmth, intimacy; kose as a verb; koselig as an adjective.

Sukha (Sanskrit, सुख) — Stable and lasting happiness (not dependent upon conditions).

Bēi xî jiāo jí (Chinese, 悲喜交集) — Intermingled feelings of sadness and joy.

Mitcha Figa is a new cultural venture by globally recognized Israeli director Yehezkel Lazarov. As part of this project, the creative team organizes semi-annual theater seasons, focusing on one central masterpiece (in this case, Ivan Goncharov's novel Oblomov) and developing interdisciplinary activities around it.

On stage there are six actors in expressive red suits surrounded by pieces of furniture. Something is happening all the time. Through physical and dramatic theater, dance, performance and video art, the performance team tries to answer the question: in the world where everything drives us to accomplishments, achievements and competition, can a person live without leaving a trace? After the performance, the team will offer you a sleepover party, so we all can fall asleep on the theater stage to a nightly DJ set.
