Balancing in Freedom

by Iddo Oberski

(Sat 25 Jan, 8 Feb, 1 Mar and 5 Apr: 2pm)

Iddo: "I'm making this performance piece Svjetlana. It explores human freedom. Would you like to be part of it?"
Svjetlana: "Absolutely yes, Iddo, of course. What did you think?"
Iddo: "Great. Here's the script"
Svjetlana: "Thanks Iddo. I really don't want to memorize lines though. Can I improvise?"
Iddo: "Yes OK, if that's what you want"
Svjetlana: "It is!"

Balancing in Freedom is a journey through the landscape of personal story, searching for meaning, connection and expression. In this unique blending of multiple art forms, Iddo Oberski takes us on a deeply personal exploration of his family’s Holocaust history, his own disability and Rudolf Steiner’s Philosophy of Freedom.

In regular dialogue with his larger-than-life collaborator Svjetlana, Iddo is shown gently how such diverse and challenging experiences may never be fully understood. They shape us and through creating art we may come closer to making some sense of ourselves, human life and the world we live in.

Join us for this world premiere performance of an enthralling new work. Written and performed by Iddo Oberski with Creative Mentoring from Mark Kydd.
