Travelling to the four Corners of the Earth
Performance

Miriam Jakob
In the frame of Open Spaces #2-2014
On their journey across the arid stage Miriam Jakob, Maija Karhunen, and Nir Vidan are negotiating leadership, claim and visibility in silent brutality. This creates a humoristic intimate theatre of possibilities about impulse and reaction, magic and technology, all around a picnic blanket.
