MISHKALIM - Kerem Shemi

Choreography: Kerem Shemi | Created with and performed by: Annika Dörr, Kerem Shemi

"Mishkalim" is a personal, existential journey in random space.

Two Mishkalim – the Mishkal (weight) of the dancing body, its mass which laid in the space, and the Mishkal (meter) of the poem, its rhythmic pattern which creates its internal movement and expression, offers two perspectives for reading this blurry dancing space.

And the participants in its embodiment allow a reference point to relate to,

as well as –
