Tour 6: The post-personal tour with Ariel Efraim Ashbel (Ariel Efraim Ashbel)

For English speakers!

The works in the tour represent an approach to contemporary performance making that’s rooted not only in personal experience (a prevalent tendency in politically conscious work) but also in the addressal of traditional forms - theater, music, dance - and the crafts they entail. The responsibility towards professional history alongside ideas about cultural relevance, the notion of entertainment as a valid trait in contemporary performance and “thinking in the box” are all questions I find productive in my own work and thus I’ll be happy to discuss them and any other thoughts with the tour’s guests.

» Ariel Efraim Ashbel

Ariel Efraim Ashbel (b.1982, Tel Aviv) makes performances. Originally a theater director, the work he has been creating since 2000 negotiates interdisciplinary proposals for stage events, located in the gap between theater, dance, music, and installation. In Israel, he worked regularly with Tmuna Theater (Tel Aviv) and Hazira Performance Center (Jerusalem) and showed work at the Akko Festival, as well in other contexts such as artTLV, the Center for Contemporary Art, Levontin 7, HaTeiva, and more. Between 2008-2010 he was Associate Artistic Director of the IntimaDance Festival for Contemporary Dance. Since 2011, Ashbel is based in Germany, where he presents work regularly at HAU Hebbel am Ufer Theater (Berlin) and Kampnagel (Hamburg). Other venues in Berlin include Sophiensaele, HZT (Uferstudios), ausland, the Berlin Biennial, the Porn Film Festival, and Transmediale. His work was also presented in festivals and venues in New York, Düsseldorf, Essen, Zurich, Frankfurt and Munich. Alongside his work as a director he also collaborates with colleagues as performer and dramaturge. Ashbel is a graduate of the School of Visual Theater, Jerusalem (2006) and he holds a BA in History and Philosophy from Tel Aviv University (2010). He won the Akko Festival prize for alternative theater in 2003, annual scholarships from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation in (2003-2007), the Mayor of Jerusalem and the HaZira Performance Art Center prize in 2006, the Legacy Foundation scholarship in 2007, and participated in Goethe Institute and International Theater Institution's (ITI) residency program for young theater directors in 2011.

Venue Info:

» Vierte Welt Kollaborationen

"Die Vierte Welt Kollaborationen" sind 2010 auf Initiative von Lubricat im Zentrum Kreuzberg gegründet worden. Die Vierte Welt ist ein Raum, in dem sich Künstler, Spezialisten, Aktivisten und Publikum auf Augenhöhe begegnen, um in Verständigung und Austausch zu treten. Die Vierte Welt hat sich zu einem offenen Möglichkeitsraum entwickelt, mit dem wir - gegen den kurzfristigen Verwertungsdruck des Marktes - eine Situation von Dauer und Kontinuität in der künstlerischen Arbeit behaupten. Weg von der Fokussierung auf das singuläre ästhetische Ereignis (Projekt) und von den Einschließungen in eine Szene, arbeiten wir an einem Perspektivwechsel der künstlerischen Produktions- und Präsentationspraxis, in welchem wir versuchen, die ästhetischen und die kunstpolitischen Positionen neu zu denken.
