The Wishing Wall
Creators and performers: Einat Ganz, Shlomit Fundaminsky
Two friends meet for an adventure following a legend searching for a wishing wall in an ancient city. They travel on imaginary vehicles, encounter the city walls, pass through alleys and inside gates, gaze at the stars, and decipher cryptic writings.
Looking for their way, following a story on a wall, where notes with requests and desires can be concealed.
What exists within a world of imagination? How can a thought become a reality and a physical game? The work reveals a relationship of communication, friendship, and acceptance.
The audience sits around the stage, and the dancers use it to conjure images from their journey.
Recommended for children aged 4-9 and for the whole family.
