The Talking Stick is Learning Hebrew
Solo performance work
Text & Music: Ohad Fishof; Narrator: Orly Morag; Avatar: Maya Tamir; Soundtrack Design and Mix: Binya Reches & Ohad Fishof; Lighting Design: Nadav Barnea; Online: Ran Slavin; Commissioned by and premiered as part of Print Screen Festival 2018.
Centered around an enigmatic text, the piece is led by two characters. Fishof himself is The Founder – part vocalist and part sound-engineer, who operates the sonic environment in what resembles a radio studio. To his side on a video screen is a foggy entity, a narrator from another world, who presents the text. It tells the stories of a place and its inhabitants – the war veteran, the walking-and-reading man, the band, the horizontal woman and others. What crystallizes is a kind of a live radio play, at the heart of which is a unique meeting between language and sound. The story unfolds gradually to include more characters and events, portraying a constantly expanding universe, eternally present, pregnant with signals and signs.

Dance (10 dancers)

Rakonto Kun is a new full evening piece for three dancers with the participation of its creators. It was commissioned by CCA Tel Aviv, as part of the Exhibition “Noa Zuk & Ohad Fishof: Works” and premiered in November 2019. The piece is set for a room, with the audience sitting along the four walls in close proximity to the performers. Rakonto Kun takes place somewhere in the fantasy territory of ethnographic fiction. Spoken and sung, the texts in Rakonto Kun are in Esperanto, the utopian international language developed by L.L Zamenhof in the late 19th Century. The live soundtrack, composed and performed by Ohad Fishof, is typically central to the unique performative realm of dance, sound and performance art that characterizes the duo’s work.
Rakonto Kun stands at the center of “Noa Zuk & Ohad Fishof: Works”, an exhibition curated by Nicola Trezzi for CCA Tel Aviv. The exhibition presents different aspects of the duo’s work, including a retrospective of their videos and a series of events curated by the artists.
