The nature of the city Tel Aviv is one that inspires sensation. It is energetic and exciting, can move at a very fast pace, and there are always a number of things to do on any given evening. Evenings often turn to early mornings suddenly, and seeing the sun come up while dancing all night is a sure sign that one has been living in the moment. People return to their Tel Aviv hotels , and rest up in order to do it all over again. There’s always more.
Yet it’s got a very profound double nature. While there is the thrill of living in the moment, there is also a very strong cultural pull for living with a profound sense of memory. The history here is complex, and it’s also unfolding every moment. For this, there are other cultural events, just as exciting as a club, that can feed the soul, like Ruth Kanner Theatre Group .
She teaches acting at Tel Aviv University , and her theatre work is devoted to telling urgent stories, usually drawing on Hebrew texts to keep traditions alive. The blend of the historical with the contemporary can serve to enlighten the senses to both the past and the present, and her experimental techniques are always designed to pull spectators out of their usual ways of seeing, in order to make the roads of memory open up and build connections.
