In today’s stage medium, both the performer and the choreographer are required to sacrifice a certain part of the belonging of the body to itself; Whether it is for the audience, for the choreographer or for the ‘shape’ / ‘image’ that the body serves.
We wonder about this “service” of the body and the desire to continue to be bound by it.
However, today, when the patterns of cliche femininity images are implanted in our bodies without our will - is there any way to slip away? Being a body without an image? And what are the implications of the opposite situation - an image without a body?
The duet Victims & Images premiered at Curtain Up in 2018, performed by Carmel Ben Asher and Roni Chadash, and received enthusiastic responses from both critics and audiences. Eight years after the creation of the duet, in 2025, Roni returns to further develop the work with a new cast - Shira Ben Uriel and Romi Lahav, driven by a desire to re-examine the piece, expand its scope, and deepen its inquiry from a more mature perspective shaped by her growth as both an artist and a woman.
