Crowds | Itim Ensemble

A durational performance with audience participation, especially for art lovers

The Itim Ensemble, in collaboration with the digital fabrication workshop at Tel Aviv Culture Da Vinci, is creating for “Art Lovers. Making Art” a durational event in which the audience is the raw material.

For years, Zvi Sahar, the ensemble’s artistic director, has worked in the language of PuppetCinema, which combines puppetry, acting, and closed-circuit cameras. This allows the audience to see both the tiny puppet and the large cinematic image created from it at the same time. In “Crowds,” this language meets 3D printing, and the characters are modeled after the audience itself. On this day, Tel Aviv Culture Da Vinci opens its doors to everyone—to creators and to those who have never seen a 3D printer up close. In the lobby, miniature scenes from life are being built: a queue, a party, a movie theater. The stages are ready and the lighting is set. All that is missing are the people—the audience. You.

Saturday, 14/11, 16:00–20:00. Free admission in the center’s lobby.
