EretzYeshuv – a new solo work by Noa Dar , premiered at the 'Tamune Festival', on 29-30.12.23, as part of 'Credit' – dedicated to the founders of the 'Choreographers Association' 30 years ago. The work consists of short chapters which are "lessons". Lessons to encourage resilience. The concept of resilience has occupied a central place in the local discourse since 7.10 and raises questions concerning its meaning, its role and the price it charges on the national, social and personal levels. Parallel lines are created between the contracted body and shortness of breath and the texts of the lessons, which are simultaneously multi-meaningful and meaningless. They encourage calmness, relaxation and disconnection from the surrounding terror and thus grasp an unfathomable gap between the aspiration for normality and a disturbed reality that is powerfully present. Every simple statement is loaded and contains triggers. Every instruction becomes a command. Every 'Shabbat shalom' – a wound, every 'see you tomorrow' – an existential question. In front of the text, the body – the pulse, the breathing, the effort to balance, the feeling of the jaw dropping and the friction of the cheek on the shoulder – return to being, to what is and exists. Perhaps leading to an initial "homeopathic" movement, which will find its way out of the state of spasm. See an interview conducted by Joy Bernard with Noa Dar, published 27/12/23.

  Saturday, 2.7, 20:30 & Friday, 30.9, 11:00 | "Awake Movement", The Israeli Center for Digital Art, Holon   A special performance of "Land Slugs", created for the opening event of the "Awake Movement" exhibition curated by Avital Barak at The Israeli Center for Digital Art in Holon.   Previous chapters of "Land Slugs" took place on the street, at the public park and at the museum. In the fourth chapter, the "Land Slugs" are hosted at The Israeli Center for Digital Art in Holon, in a concrete-paved field of the historical school yard where the center is located.   Between verticality and horizontality, while in friction with the physical boundaries and symbols of space, the body leaves its marks on the concrete. The traces of the games, the sports activities and the ceremonies assimilated into the cracks of the tiles, seem to be resurrected and make their way back to the body and from it onwards.  

Noa Dar and Michal Samama will operate in various spaces at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art during February-March 2022(Admission to the museum allows viewing  'Land Slugs' in action, which will take place on the dates and times listed below).The action in the museum is the third chapter of the series 'Land Slugs' that has taken place over the past few months. The first chapter took place on Soncino Street in south Tel Aviv, while the second chapter was performed along theRailway Park in Jerusalem. The museum is the sterile of the three venues, with a long history of viewing-presenting relationships.  'Land Slugs' takes place as part of "The Square – Towards New Alliances", curated by Ruthi Director and Dana Yahalomi. 'Land Slugs' in the museum will take place on the following dates: CLICK HERE for the detailed performances dates.
