Gathering the Time
15 Years of Galit Liss Creation and Work with the Mature Body
During 2023 we prepared the events acknowledging 15 years of work by Galit Liss entitled MANIFESTO for the Mature Body, and aimed at focusing on the beauty, abundance and wisdom of our bodies.
October 7 shattered our world and stopped everything, and out of the painful and scattered days, we are gathering the time, and ourselves – but differently – and allowing the body and words to comfort.
We invite you to a series of gatherings centered and dance and talks, that move from life to art, and back.
