  • On a bare stage, two performers, two undressed all-eaters, are totally exposed. However, the work is deliberately keeping to a delicate balance between the visible and the hidden, the unequivocal and the ambivalent, the textual and the emotional. Furthermore, it stands mainly between a minimalistic visuality in comparison to the performative richness of the duo.

    It is a primal dance that uses the tonal harmony of the body as raw material for a stream of unconventional scenes and segments, which are surprising and often funny. This creates a grid that inquires about the cultural within the body and the visceral within culture.

    An Hour with All-Eaters can simulate an one-hour visit to an archaeological site. This archaeological site is physical, human and performative as well as real space. During the visit, the viewer can admire the smallest findings, while at the same time he finds himself in the middle of large ruins. Now he has to complete his own vision of this historical picture; what this place he now occupies used to be.

    Critics Say

    “The piece defines, almost critically, the relations between nature and culture, civilization and primitiveness, body and word; it emphasizes the pains of the human body and all that is plastic and picturesque in it.”
    Shir Hacham, Haaretz

    “This surprising duet, in which the body forms an early human archeological site, seems to open a page in a book of anthropology, for us to examine its contents in a contemporary perspective…intriguing and surprising to the eye…”
    Ruth Eshel, Haaretz

    “Nudity in this piece is straightforward, and is not for a moment decorative or extravagant. It presents an animal existence so naturally that some parts feels like a nature documentary, while other moments are gentle and naïve, cultured and almost picturesque.” Anat Zecharia, Yedioth
    “It seems as if both performers are eating themselves up – until they drop everything; the set design, the costumes and the music…Proximity and intimacy are intermittent with humor and playful ideas.”
    Annette Hoffmann, Badischen Zeitung

    "The sensitivity and accuracy that went into structuring the movement and sound sequences serve to reduce some of the embarrassment...clearing space for a curious, in-depth look into the moving human body… a rare opportunity for self observation and contemplation of humankind."
    Dana Shalev, Erev-Rav

    “A perfect hour With All-eaters.”
    Zvi Goren, Habama
