1997

Artistic Director: Amos Hetz
Producer: Shamayim- Ziv Ben
Lighting: Sivan Berlin

In this festival we produced another collective dance: Zodiac. Dancers and musicians together. The decision who would dance with whom was made with the help of astrology, and according to each dancer or musician’s sign and its relationship to the others. This method created unexpected possibilities for group dances.

An important contribution was made by violinist Malcolm Goldstein. Malcolm took part in Zodiac, played in Amos Hetz’s Following Socrates, and joined Anat Shamgar and Batyah Schachter in improvisation.
