A funny, captivating dance and acrobatics performance full of imagination for the whole family. Objects and robots come to life, inviting you to help Ofir create a world of games, inventions, and magic. “Taalul” playfully juggles between reality and play, between order and freedom — celebrating the joy of moving, letting loose, and inventing something out of nothing.
Ofir Yudilevitch is a choreographer, dancer, acrobat, and teacher whose work blends and mixes different movement worlds such as contemporary dance, capoeira, breaking, and circus.
In his creations, Ofir seeks to embody extreme physicality, stretch the abilities of the performers, and expand the boundaries of what is considered dance and choreography — whether on stage or in alternative spaces such as streets, parks, galleries, and more.Ofir is the father of Alma and Gomeh, and as a parent he sees great value in presenting performances for children that speak to their pace and imaginative world, while also expanding and challenging them.
