Hezi
A man tells himself on stage. An untold life story revealed and unfolds through personal fragments connecting text, dance and music. A personal journey told in retrospect, with plenty of humor and honesty. A story about self revelation and recognition, step by step through time. A man exposes himself on stage, yet remains hidden. He recounts his story through different
people and the unexpected encounters with them. A man allows us to glance inside. He uses his own private memories as a reminder to us all. A colourful experience in black and white. A performance in which the story is told through unpredictable interactions between the different art forms.
