  • Night World Kim Teitelbaum in collaboration with Zohar Shafir

“Night World” is a performative encounter between choreographer and dancer Kim Teitelbaum and musician and vocal artist Zohar Shafir. Drawing inspiration from Kathy Acker’s “The Persian Poems,” the piece carefully explores the manifestations of traumatic experience. In the aftermath of severe trauma, the body, language, gender, and identity may become unmoored, reconnecting in disjointed and fragmented ways. Within this space, as within the piece, the logic of realistic syntax begins to fray, revealing symbols cloaked in the fog of a dream.

 Night World is a performance by Kim Teitelbaum in collaboration with Zohar Shafir.

Zohar Shafir is a musician and performer who works in the space between Pop-music nostalgia and its deconstruction. Her creative process spans vocal performance, original composition and the unique processing of her sound with the use of tapes, archival materials and various electronic tools. Parallel to her activity in the field of experimental music Shafir publishes her Pop albums under the name of Nico Teen. To date she has released four solo albums as part of this ongoing project. Whether in collaboration with other artists or in her solo project, Shafir deals with dismantling and reassembling structures which feature and explore vocal expression. Her texts are original and deal with the subconscious, the imaginary and mundane, while keeping a focus on the liminality and darker side of the existential experience.
