The Inbal Pinto & Avshalom Dance Company:

Artists Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak founded the Dance Company in 1992. Together they have been involved in a variety of artistic endeavours - mainly the creation, direction, choreography and design of unique, award-winning, dance performances for their company of 12 dancer-actors based in Suzanne Dellal centre in Tel Aviv. Their work has been presented and acclaimed in Israel and in many other countries around the world. One of Pinto and Pollaks most famous dance shows is "Oyster", which premiered in France in 1999. 5 dancers performed in this years production of "Trout" in Tel Aviv, dancing and moving in a 7x7m pool on stage.

Kitchen Orchestra:

Kitchen Orchestra is based in Stavanger, Norway, bringing together talented and ambitious musicians from the region with international musicians and composers, through unique orchestral projects. The orchestra works with modern improvised music in the grey area between contemporary music and jazz. The orchestra draws its members from a variety of backgrounds, like the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra, the local jazz scene, as well as graduates and teachers from the University of Stavanger. The orchestra has no permanent musical leadership but rather opts to draw on a diversity of internal/external composers and orchestral leaders in order to stretch boundaries, thus cooking up different flavors for each individual project.

Founders: Petter Frost Fadnes / Didrik Ingvaldsen / Gunhild Seim / Nils Henrik Asheim

Kitchen Orchestra arrived in Israel especially for this performance, which was co-funded by the Norwegian Embassy.
