About

Bingo Palestine / Netta Weiser

'Bingo Palestine' is a nomadic game/performance enacted in various cities and contexts, aiming to unfold new arenas encountering our relation to the Israeli/Palestinian territory. The game revolves around a map of Palestine drawn by the British Mandate prior to the war of 1948. During the event this map is transformed into playing boards, the participants reorganize the space, share fake memories and navigate through imaginary landscapes.
By gathering as players, ad hoc cartographers or misusers of the map, we will engage in different interactions with the space and the historical moment it embodies, inventing new trajectories between what can be said, imagined or done in relation to it. The gaps between our knowledge and colonial fantasies, between the map and the territory, between speech and the body, are our spaces of action.
We need new games!

Departure Gate 9A / Mica Dvir

'Departure Gate 9A' revolves around the experience of leaving one's homeland for starting a life in another country whatever the reason for this act may be. The work aims at focusing at the human experience involved in the migration process.

The themes that are explored in the work are related to details which are part of the immigration process, such as the occurrence of the specific moment in which one decides to leave one's home and the reasons the decision occurs; the physical objects one chooses to take with him/her to the journey; mentality differences between one's homeland and the country one moves to and the ways of dealing with them; the hardship one faces as a result of immigrating to a new place; the need to start communicating in a foreign language and the ways one copes with not being able to freely communicate.
