  • After eighteen months of extensive research and a close collaboration between Arkadi Zaides and a group of unique performers and artists, we are very excited to arrive at the final stage in the creation of Land-Research. The world premiere will take place this month in Germany.

    In Land-Research, Arkadi Zaides concentrates on presenting the individual voices of five performers from different backgrounds, exploring their inner relationship with the broad idea of land. Informed by a multitude of texts, images, bodily investigations and questions, which responded to their individual work process, the performers approach their bodies as a private landscape, shaped and challenged by its surrounding.

    Zaides wishes to continue his exploration of relevant issues arising from the local setting in Israel. Grounded in the belief that art is a communication tool able to change and influence, the new work continues 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 continues 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.

    The team will be working at their final residency which will take place at Fabrik Potsdam from the 12-24 May. Premieres will take place on the 25-26 May at Fabrik Potsdam
