Michal Svironi combines art and theatre to create a unique stage language she calls ‘Paint-theatre’. In a colourful collage of separation, using broad strokes of colour and paint, she evokes characters who have left their impression on her. They come to life in a macabre parade, filling up the stage. Each figure is a creation in itself, passing through different dimensions to tell its story. In a fragile, multi-generational, humorous and poetic collage, we are left asking: what remains of our past, and what will we leave behind? Is it even possible to be a ‘blank slate’?

Michal Svironi
A leading, award winning, independent theatre artist living in Tel-Aviv. Her works have been performed in more than 20 countries around the globe for the past 20 years. She brings on stage a personal, yet communicative theatre language, using mixed genres and self-humour. Svironi combines the art of theatre with different art forms, and has particularly mastered this style in her last show ‘Carte Blanche’.
Svironi has graduated from École Jacques Lecoq, La Sorbonne, she has studied with a clown master Eric Bluet. Her theatre is in constant research of innovative ways to express deep psychological processes and transform them into theatrical events. Her universe is poetic and abstract, absurd and kicking. Specialising in interactivity, she is creating for indoors and outdoors.
