The Work
Two performers embark on a wandering journey, presenting fragments of movements and musical phrases they have gathered with meticulous precision. In Attitude, Mica collaborates with musician Erez Meyuhass, and together, they play with the relationship between movement and sound, between the image and the thing itself. There is a surgical exploration of the body—what the body does at the anatomical, empirical level, as an entity in the world—alongside an underlying sense of the mythical. Through the cracks emerges a world of restrained drama, discipline, and rebellion against it. Dogmatic formality gives way to an escape into the perverse, all while maintaining a deep dedication to one another and to the theatrical act.
The Artist
Mica Kupfer is a choreographer, director, and performer. Her artistic practice brings together visual and movement languages that transition between dance, visual theater, and performance art. In her works, she explores inherent and hidden tensions in human behavior and the interplay between the mythical and the everyday. Kupfer graduated from the School of Visual Theater in Jerusalem with honors from the mayor. She performed her works at Officine CAOS (Turin), the Acco Festival (2019, winner of four awards), Hazira Theater, Suzanne Dellal Centre, Intimadance Festival, DOCK 11 (Berlin), and more. She has participated in various residencies, including P.A.R.T.S/ROSAS (Brussels), Tanzmainz Company (Germany), Kelim Center, Mamuta Center, and more.
