Step - Scenes from the History of Humankind | Zvi Sahar Inspired by Yuval Noah Harari’s bestselling book ‘Sapiens’
Long ago, Homo sapiens were just another animal of no particular importance. Now, we are masters of the earth, stronger than ever, lords of the universe, self-appointed gods. Gods who don't realize they are the last human species on earth. Is there anything more dangerous than gods who don’t know what they want?
In this new work, an adaptation for seven actors, a movie camera, and a single skeleton, the journey of Homo sapiens, our journey, is brought to life. Our discoveries, our inventions, our abilities explode onto the stage, laid bare in their beauty, wonder and raw power.
In his innovative and unique theater language, Puppet Cinema, Zvi Sahar combines theater, movement, live cinema and puppetry.
The works of Zvi Sahar ('The Road to Ein Harod', 'The Archivist and Archived') have received high praise and have captivated large audiences thanks to the charming depiction of the past resonating in modern language. 'Step' is another iteration of this unique artistic language, taking it one step forward.
Please note: this performance is also suitable for 9th graders and up.
Director: Zvi Sahar | Artistic Advisor: Rina Yerushalmi Participants: Yuval Fingerman, Yinon Cohen, Yael Finkel | Ayelet Golan, Omri Raveh, Zvi Sahar, Chihiro Tazuro, Shani Shabtai.
