A woman sits upright. She waits. The air within her changes and shapes her world. Her age, her home, and her memories will fall apart and be rebuilt from within a state of waiting. Who is she waiting for, and why? “Big Hand, Little Hand” is a solo by Shlomit Fundaminsky in which she investigates the physical and mental state of waiting. She examines time and movement in a body that is helpless, passive, and acts as a container of memories. By using the concept of emptiness (space, time, words) she creates characters and stories that come and go while she waits.
