Pa’am

by Nadav Barnea

Using audio recordings, light design and projected images on eight old TV screens, PA’AM wishes to offer the audience a stroll between fragments of memory, longings and introspection.

Recorded texts, projected texts and images reveal the three stories  (told autobiographically by the musician Eran Zur, actress Ora Meirson and actor Doron Tavori),  that are a mixture of facts, thoughts, nostalgic longing and guilt. The stories are coiled together into a mosaic of broken memories producing an hybrid image of the past.

The lighting and the screens, projecting texts and many different images are the actual performers in this work, giving additional layers of information to the spoken word.

“…If we talk about “experimental theatre”, this work – being a refreshing psychedelic trip – fits the definition.”
