A creation for three women. Their relationship develop while they explore each other and are being explored within the bounds of a dense stage world, constantly observed by the spectators. The woman's body, with its shaky boundaries constantly changing, is perceived by society as a source of danger. A woman has to model her body after cultural codes, in order to feel as an integral and equal part of our society. 
The women in MONSTER observe their bodies as they constantly change and undergo numerous transformations along their lives: adolescence, menstruation, pregnancy, giving birth, breast-feeding. The wish for control, the fear from losing control, and the need to set free one's suppressed urges and sexuality, unveil the woman's complex figure that emerges out of today's reality. 

The creation was made possible through the generous contributions of The Israeli Choreographers Association, The Israeli Culture Ministry, The Tel Aviv Jaffa Municipality.
