“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,” continues Klone, “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 participants 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.”
