Initiated by Guy Bernard Reichmann and led by CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo Operations Manager Amy Sapan, alongside Content and Press Manager Shahar Mizrahi, the “out-of-office” series is presented in the Marc Schimmel Multipurpose Gallery. Focused on time-based practices such as video, dance, and performance, and in line with the multidisciplinary mission of the Center, “out-of-office” was conceived to nurture the domestic creative scene.

For this session, choreographer Yulia Mezhetskaya performs on two nights. On Tuesday, March 25, she will present Echo of Trust (2024), a duet performed by four. Expressed through movement and sound, the work reveals the persistence required to keep moving – breath after breath. It explores the search for tenderness and intimacy while carrying the weight of reality, questioning how trust manifests within the body and between performers. On March 25, Mezhetskaya will also present In the End It Will All Work Out (2025), which explores the interdependence between bodies, the tension between control and release, and the inevitable impact of one action on another. It examines the dynamics of bodies in constant physical contact, where every movement initiated by one dancer triggers a chain reaction among the other. On Thursday, March 27, Mezhetskaya will present again Echo of Trust, this time followed by a conversation between the choreographer and the performers.

Echo of Trust was developed by Mezhetskaya in collaboration with dancer Uri Dicker; music created and performed live by Yael Schreiber and Alexey Polyansky; costumes by Adi Yair; artistic consultation by Tammy Izhaki and Gili Rahat. It is supported by the Ministry of Culture – Independent Artists Fund; it was developed during a residency at CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo.

In the End It Will All Work Out is a work in progress developed by Mezhetskaya in collaboration with dancers of the RE-FEEL collective – Shaked Kenan, Chen Jackson, Shoval Yehezkel, Tamar Tavor, and Elinor Goldberg – during an internship and residency program of RE-SEARCH.

On both nights, doors will open at 7:00pm and close at 8:00pm. We invite you to come early to view our current exhibitions.

Please note that there are no late entries or refunds.
