Quiet arose from a real sense of emergency; in light of the growing violence and mistrust between communities in Israel, constantly subjected to states of shock which never allow the space needed for reflection, and thus never allow for change. In such an environment it felt acute to create a platform which allows for an open and honest communication; a place where it is safe to let one's demons out and set them free; where the irrationality of response is examined and emotions are bravely explored; where a broad perspective is sought and where trust is continuously built.
Palestinians and Israelis, actors and dancers, the creative process was nourished and inspired by all these differences between the participant’s social realities and artistic backgrounds. The four characters in the piece reveal a landscape which contains aggression, compassion, confusion and yearning. in the midst of this intensity, lies a constant search for a place which is able to contain all conflicted layers - a place which is quiet.
Arkadi Zaides is an independent choreographer. He was born in the Soviet Union in 1979, and immigrated to Israel in 1990. Today he lives and works in Tel Aviv. He danced in Batsheva Dance Company and at Yasmeen Godder Dance Group. Since 2004 Arkadi has been working as a free-lance choreographer. His works have been shown in numerous international festivals in Israel, Switzerland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Holland, India, Hungary, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Romania, Germany, China, Taiwan, and Japan, amongst others. In 2010 Arkadi Zaides has been awarded the prestigious Rosenblum Award which is awarded annually by the city of Tel Aviv, supported by the Hanna and Gottlieb Rosenblum Foundation, to encourage excellence in the arts. Zaides's choreography 'Solo Colores' was awarded with the prestigious Kurt Jooss award in 2010. In 2008 and in 2009 he was awarded Israel’s ministry of culture and sport prize for young artist of the year in the field of dance.
