Synopsis: Babel is a choreographic story about the contemporary man and the city as a jungle, in which every organism tries to survive as best as it can. Our thoughts represent a multitude of projections on reality and things that should align to a normality in which we would live our lives. But what happens in a society where disinterest rules, or when personal material aspirations are the main purpose? That is when imbalance sets in, and we stumble every day in real situations: endless queues, hospitals, bureaucracy, building sites, drug stores, mentalities, types of communication, getting angry and losing control. Nevertheless, through all this, hope is forever flowing, that hope which allows man to move on, to always find a balance, therefore to dance.
An annual multi-disciplinary festival, which takes place the 7th year in a row, Beer Sheva International Fringe Theatre Festival has become the biggest cultural event in the south of Israel. During the festival, 40 shows and over 200 artists will take part in the three days of performance program.
The artistic program presents a unique line of original, critical and diverse work, combining original productions, the best of fringe theatre productions, premieres that were created especially for the festival, and a selection of international shows that provide a fascinating and contemporary look at independent art.
During the festival, the audience will be able to enjoy street theater from Spain, a French street circus, Romanian dance show, and a highly acclaimed show from Austria. In addition, there will be music performances by Lola Marsh and Shafita, children's plays in the form of stage adaptation for literary classics such as The Little Prince and The Sixteenth Sheep, and street performances by local artists.
