The Ruth Kanner Theater Group delves into the hypnotic views of S. Yizhar, and brings together three stories about three seas: the Sea of Galilee, the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea.
Three stories will be told about the three seas:
“One is green-blue the other is sea and endless haze with a girl and a boy and the third is grey stormy and very salty..”
At the heart of the frenzy, in a dizzying confrontation with the wind, sea and time, the rhythm of man’s orderly actions goes awry. Then, at a moment of a complete stop, of arrhythmias, a tip of a secret is revealed.
“For the distance between wonder and ordinary is not great here, look.” S. Yizhar

Prof. Ati Citron talks about the wonderful text of Antonin Artaud – The Theater and the Plague*
Created by: Ruth Kenner
Development of Ideas: Yair Vardi
Production: Shira Yovel
The first gathering was held on May 2, 2020
“The plague takes images that are dormant, a latent disorder, and suddenly extends them into the most extreme gestures; the theater also takes gestures and pushes them as far as they will go… like inflammatory images thrust into our abruptly wakened heads, the theater restores us as our dormant conflicts and all their powers… In the true theater a play disturbs the senses’ repose, frees the repressed unconscious, incites a kind of virtual revolt…”
* The Theater and Its Double by Antonin Artaud, translated from the French by Mary Caroline Richards
Sketch by: Hilla Lulu Lin, 1994
Five days of experiments, exercises, short performances, collections and varying combinations of our work with speech actions.
We invite you to a series of experiences with words in action - an encounter with the power of influence that lies within them, with their masking abilities, with their ability to impose authority, produce oppression, and also with the possibilities they offer - clarify, connect, release, laugh, uplift, and even evoke the wonder of group speech .
We will open up speaking spaces where you can listen and do things with words - move between short performances, participate in a reading circle or a speaking choir, and watch new combinations of excerpts from the group's work.
Creation of speech actions: Ruth Kenner together with the group members

4.8 is a docu-artistic format that is built around archival documents. Documents that are evidence to broader stories about the history and ongoing reality in Palestine/Israel.
The documents are only traces of attempts to erase and hide actions and processes carried out by the State of Israel and its institutions over the years. The work will give the legal and bureaucratic text life and load it with meaning. In doing so, they will bring awareness to the systematic human rights violations and explain the institutional and organizational context in which these violations occur. The presentation of the documents will create a live, creative and relevant performative archive, an alternative to the dusty bureaucratic archive of Kafkaesque or imperial institutions.
