When was the last time you really looked at passersby and interactions in a bustling city street?

Returning to the Israel Festival for the eighth time, Clipa Theater continues to push the boundaries of theatre with a performance that explores the social and political arenas of the artistic action and audience-performer relationship.

Challenging imagination, interpretation, and suspicion, View Field implants subtle anomalies in the familiar urban reality. From the vantage point of a high balcony, we are invited to gaze down at the street along the seam between Jaffa Road and the Old City walls, as Clipa Theater members blend into the urban landscape and the everyday activity in the city at twilight. Our unique perspective as an audience and the expectation for something to happen will imbue and alter our perception of the events.

The narrative of View Field is not composed solely by the performers’ actions; it takes place in the imagination of each and every viewer, diverging into countless different scenarios. An invitation to a personal experiment, the performance brings up questions on individual interpretations of a performative piece, and on our anxiety, suspicion, and at times indifference, when we are looking at a fraught urban environment.
