Blush
an innocent research on physical embarrassment
by Gony Paz & Itim Ensemble
Show Overview
Embarrassment appears when we lose control, when the effort to cover up one thing reveals another.
It blossoms in the gap between what I think of myself to what I think others think of me, to what they actually do think.
We playfully and almost childishly explore the embarrassment, intimacy, and nudity of the puppet and of the "hiding" puppeteer behind it. Playing with a variety of materials, animating techniques and live camera.
