Re-inventing theatre: Tziporela at TEDxHiriya

I love TED talks and I love forward-looking theatre. These two things rarely go together (get a few beers in me and ask about why I think "analogue" theatre has such a hard time in the "digital" world we live in).

I'd never heard of these guys, but I like their talk. I looked into them. from their YouTube posts and their website, they seem to do movementy ensemble sketches. Looks like a lot of fringe shows I've seen.

And then a thought occurred to me. If these guys are calling themselves the future of theatre and it is already really familiar (i.e. this doesn't look "new" to me)... is the future of theatre already here? Did I miss it? Am I like an old man who has misplaced his glasses? I find them on top of my head, but I can't seem to stop the search.

Tziporela - Demo day 8-200 (by starq1312)

Tziporela brings Tel Aviv internationals hilarious theater in English!

Info on the show

After eight years of sold-out performances all over Israel and most recently Australia, indie theatre troupe Tziporela is proud to present a new show that weaves together movement, music, and slapstick in a night of comedy that cuts across cultural lines. 

I watched a bunch of videos prior to the show to see if it's something I want to see, and you bet! Here's one clip I liked:

The show’s premiere on December 15th, 2012 was a smashing success with an energetic standing ovation given by a full house.

The show is a combination of 16 theatrical sketches from two of the group’s existing shows – Hatkafat Lev and Akitza Tiv’eet – along with new material, and all of it is in English. 

Members of the award-winning group met twelve years ago at Israel’s top acting studio Nissan Nativ and went on to form the outrageous Tziporela – a group of nine young and sexy guys and gals who write, direct and choreograph their successful shows as they offer audiences a theatrical approach to daily life with loads of nonsense and no reservations. 

Hilarious video by Tziporela

  The best part about Tziporela’s new show is that the group’s explosive energy transcends all barries – from age to culture to language.
