The ZAZ Festival for performance art is a unique initiative in Israel. As a dynamic and experimental laboratory of live art, the festival moves between different physical and social spaces in Israel, and between various forms of action, including frontal performances in a variety of heterogeneous spaces; simultaneous performances in multiple sites; actions on the streets and in public buildings that have a charged socio-political meaning; As well there will be workshops for students and the general public. About 15 Israeli artists and 10 artists from India, Myanmar, Japan, The Philippines, Switzerland and Spain will participate in the festival.

The first part of this year’s ZAZ Festival will be located in Tel Aviv. From December 8th-10th a variety of performances, workshops and artist talks will take place at Performance Art Platform and public areas in and around the New Central Bus Station. From December 14rd-17th the festival will be located in different locations in Haifa. The artists will perform in the community hall of Haifa and in the Streets of Wadi Nisnas during the"Holiday of holidays" festival.
