Iron. Sheep Property
“Iron, Sheep, Property” is a political performance and dance piece, touching on burning issues in an unusual way, at once deeply disturbing and strangely comforting. A weave of movement, images, text and songs, the piece is accompanied by a systematic reading out of the Abraham Even-Shoshan Dictionary (1998). The compulsive reading of the dictionary breaks apart the tension between language and culture, calling into question the deep rotted need for ownership over our bodies, language, home, land and country.
