The performance in frame of Polish-Israeli Choreographic Exchange.

What constructs the self? Body Roots is a solo performance examining images and representations of my family and how they are carried in my body and mind. Utilizing masks of my family members I explore these images based on a belief that the personal is political. The work explores an intersubjective approach that perceives each individual as constructed from one’s context and from the relationships of each individual with the others.
