Honcivalldina-

A bouffon spectacle for outdoor and indoor space

  "From a forgotten civilization, one that is

thousands of years away in history, a strange

 looking capsule, perhaps an ancient spacecraft is

dragged by three hesitant, physically distorted figures.

 Three loyal, lost priests, on a peculiar

ritualistic journey, chanting and singing in an

 ancient sacred language, traveling into the unknown.

 Inside the bizarre space-coffin, sits a pale, lifeless figure.

 Honcivalldina, the withering Queen.

 Like Queen of the ants,

 Only she can give life to a new generation.

 In unfamiliar lands, speaking a strange language,

 Their mission is to revive Queen Honcivalldina...

 Will they be able to save the people of Honcivalld? "

This spectacle is the outcome of a research

about the historic cultural origins

 of Israel, Babylon, Canaan and Assyria.

 Searching for ancient art work of the region

 and combining fine arts

Inspired by holy books, traditions, spiritual religious symbolism

 and rituals using water, fire & earth

 In the work we combine text, song and lament,

 in ancient Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic.

 Reflections;

  all must accept the basic human right of a people to survive,

 emphasizing their religion, language, traditions and rituals.

  About mutual aid, and the love and respect for "the other"-

 In a world where immigration is so prevalent, new cultures are bound to be created.

 How are we as human beings, accepting those who are different than us, whether in religion,

 race or nationality. Can we "live and let live"? Or do our biased opinions and fear

 of "the other" control our actions...

 about women's status-Many religions and cultures have minimized

 the importance of women in the past still till today. In this show, the ruler is a woman,

 We would like to suggest, at the beginning, of the 21st century, that, perhaps,

 its time for women's reign (after such a murderous 20th century- male dominated society…)

 

The show is a Bouffon spectacle,

 a physical-visual and fantastic genre of theatre.

 The Bouffon; a metamorphosis of

 the classical character of the fool,

 a tragic-comic being, existing until today

 in theatre and reality.

 The grotesque Bouffon mocks and censures

 the behavior of man and society

 and warns them of the consequences....

We create residency projects

 where we work with

 local artists or a community

to create new spectacles

and  site-specific projects

on chosen themes
