Event: Quiet - Arkadi Zaides
Date: 08-Dec-2011
Time: 21:30 - 22:20
Location: De Brakke Grond | Amsterdam
The four characters in Quiet, Palestinians and Israelis, create a landscape containing the elements that surround them - aggression, compassion, confusion and yearning. In the midst of this intensity lies a constant search for a place that can contain all the conflicting layers - a place that is quiet.
The motivation to make the piece arose from a real sense of urgency stemming from the growing violence and mistrust between their communities. The creative process between these actors and dancers was nourished and inspired by their differences, resulting in a piece that while sometimes difficult to watch, also gives room for hope.
Quiet has been performed in Prague, Tel Aviv, New York, Gdansk, Vancouver, Potsdam, Athens, Seville, Rouen and many other cities.
Arkadi Zaides was born in
the Soviet Union and immigrated to Israel in 1990 at the age of 11. He
danced with the Batsheva Dance Company and Yasmeen Godder group among
others . Since 2004 he has been choreographing independently. While his
works have been performed all over the world and have had excellent
reviews.
Performed by: Arkadi Zaides, Yuval Goldstin, Mohammed Mugrabi, Ofir Yudilevitch.
