Pupik, a multi-layered, visual and physical two-woman dance show, is coming to The Pavilion from the 24th to the 25th of July 2018.
Created and performed by Yael Karavan and Naomi Silman, premiered in Brazil in 2015 and went on to tour throughout the country and to Portugal in 2016-2017. Now the show is in the UK in a new English adaptation supported by Arts Council England.
Pupik – which means ‘navel’ in Hebrew – is the story of two women living on opposite sides of the world but tied unconditionally to each other by their deep friendship and common ancestors try to unearth what connects us despite our differences, in the current global scenario of division and intolerance.
With a solid reputation of more than 20 years in physical theatre, the performers take the audience on a journey of poetic imagery, humour and immersive elements to travel through time and space, unveiling the layers of their personal stories and ancestral backgrounds, tracing a line from the personal to the universal in the attempt to tackle some vital contemporary questions about their common paths such as identity, roots, displacement, borders, and the concept of a Home.
