Description

Join us in a sensational visual performance from an object-theatre master. Courageous spectators will be asked to participate in seven of the universe's most spectacular machines, invented specifically to observe the human spiritual spectrum! Shahar Marom specialises in interdisciplinary art, searching for a new stage language combining design and performative act. The Machine Man Spectacle is a personal journey of a lonely machine inventor trying to understand the world through his machines. You will be asked to join him on his quest, participate in his machines and become, for a moment, his entire world.

Machine Man Spectacle … and lots more. A must-see experience that will stay with you for days - and nights. Mysticism of Yeats and integrity that will numb. Exploring dreams and consciousness, brought to life by machines. Funny but serious. All executed by the nimble body, fingers and toes of a real artist. Thoroughly enjoyable and memorable show.

A personal quest of the inner feelings of a unique artist who sees the human existence as a composit of discrete machines each addressing an element of our beeing. Shahar takes us on an adventure that reflects on each and every viewer making him understand his own existence better and if you decide to be an active participant you will get the option to become a “supporting machine” on stage. Super emotional and enlightening show.

What a mind blowing show! Totally gave me a new perspective on what we are, what machines are, our place in this world and what it means to connect to someone.
Plus it has an enchanting tune that’s stuck in my head - hopefully for a long time.

This was one of those lucky experiences where I felt transported to another realm. I was truly honoured to be involved in this show tonight.
Shahar is an artist able to touch the aether right before your eyes. I came away emotional and delighted. Thank you.
