- Currently, Arkadi Zaides is working on a new production 'Land-Research'. The work is co produced by Ballet National De Marseilles, Theater De Chaillot and Fabrik Potsdam. It will premiere in Summer 2012. In ‘Land-Research’, Zaides will concentrate on presenting individual voices of performers from different backgrounds, expressing their personal attitude towards land.
The work will investigate how being connected to/disconnected from a piece of land, affects individuals, especially in the challenging reality in Israel. This performance will be constructed from several solos taking place simultaneously. The performers will map their personal experience through reading texts and exploring their physicality, relating to the body as a private landscape, shaped and challenged by it’s surrounding.
As in his previous production 'Quiet', Zaides wishes to continue his exploration of relevant issues arising from the local setting. Grounded in the belief that art is a communication tool able to change and influence, the new work will continue to deal with social and cultural issues in the local reality, by uncovering the complexities found in the lives of individuals, and expressing them through performative techniques. Out of a constant search for original expression, Zaides will continue to seek a new language that grows out of the here and now. As in his previous works, artists of various disciplines will be joining the creative process, resulting in a mix of genres and languages that synthesize into one utterance.
- We are delighted to inform, that for his activity in 2011, Arkadi was awarded the Israeli Minister of Culture and Sport Prize for young emerging choreographer of the year. This is the third time he has received this award.
