Barbed Hula
Directed by Sigalit Landau
A stark, looping performance piece in which Sigalit Landau spins a hula hoop made of barbed wire at sunrise on a Tel‑Aviv beach. The work turns a familiar gesture into a charged act of desensitization, merging bodily risk with the political tensions of borders—both geographic and sub‑skin. The speed of the movement blurs pain into endurance, transforming a simple dance into a meditation on danger, history, and the invisible forces that shape a body’s relationship to its environment.
