choreographers Marie Chouinard and Edouard Lock and for director Denis
Marleau; Inbal Yomtovian Israel, a young graduate of the prestigious
School of Visual Theatre in Jerusalem, who has twice received the
Jerusalem Mayor's Award for Excellence and Artistic Achievement for her
work in puppetry; Ziggurat theatre from Maine with "The Puzzle Box";

backstage, as well as in the wings. The workshop will host an
interactive installation. An outdoor performance will be presented on
the esplanade in front of the cultural center.

of stepping into the unknown, experience the beauty of the first steps!
This unique event brings together artists from different generations,
some with important international reputations, and emerging artists,
who share the stage and accompany each other in their creation process.

installations, will take place on the 12th and 13th of September in
