“Water” is a virtuosic duet performance where two masters meet in the theatrical space, exploring and blurring the boundaries between vocal-musical and kinetic worlds. The performance moves from the personal narrative to the universal, not attempting to conceal these relationships but rather to use them for artistic expression. Jennifer and Noam, woman and man, a couple in life, a couple in creation. They reflect one within the other like water on the endless playground called “life.”

“We explore multidisciplinary combinations and investigate the boundaries of human expression through various art forms. Each of our works is responsive to the space it occupies, to the era in which it is created, to the materials available to us, and to the collaborators in that specific creation.”

Noam Helfer
Israel
Helfer is a multidisciplinary artist, musician, and experience-designer. He produces albums (for Camilla, Arik Aber, Oren Lavi, Gon Ben Ari, and others), and designs soundtracks for dance (Fresco, Vertigo, Sharon Friedman, Shlomit Fundaminsky, Anat Grigorio) and other artistic fields. He also releases original music under the names "Helfer" and "Age is a Box". In recent years, Helfer has initiated, produced, and directed many artistic events that combine different art types on various platforms, including Capsule, Blender, the opening of the Ariella House, One Moment Library, and more. The recurring theme in his work is breaking the standard performance format and challenging the familiar audience experience of stage art.
Jennifer Cohen
Israel
Cohen is a contemporary movement and circus artist, creator, and choreographer. She specializes in aero-dynamic technique with an emphasis on the aerial hoop element. She explores the physical-mental body as a tool for individual and collective healing processes by combining effortless dynamic techniques, synchronized and relaxed respiratory work, and deep listening to the body's changing center points. Developing her performance and language of movement, she challenges the ongoing integration between circus disciplines and the fields of dance and physical theater, using images, quality of movement, sound, and writing. Cohen completed a year of studies at the "Kelim Center" for choreographic work and is engaged in the production of independent projects. She has also created and collaborated with the Canadian Cirque du Soleil and the French Cirque Plume.
