Where Is Gogo? - Ruti Tamir Theater and Pantomime

She arrives from nowhere, with a small suitcase in hand and a big question in her heart: where is Gogo? But... who is Gogo? What is Gogo? Can you even see him? A clownish, virtuosic and captivating show, almost entirely without words, about searching, hope, and finding the special Gogo hidden within you. Creation, design, direction and performance: Ruti Tamir. Original music: Yoni Tal. Costume: Marina Moiseev. Set and props: Ruti Tamir. Reviews: "Superb technique and pure talent, blended with flair and free imagination, in a show (almost) without words, which leaves plenty of room for thought and interpretation and, surprisingly, in an age of attention disorders, keeps the young audience attentive and alert, absorbed and sailing on their own imagination. The ability to tell a whole story through mime and movement is pure magic. Tamir is, if I'm not mistaken, the last gem in the chain of giants who came before her in this country and elegantly carried on the tradition of pantomime: Shaike Ophir, Yoram Boker, Ezra Dagan, Israel Gurion, Hanoch Rosen. Tamir keeps the flame burning and manages to captivate audiences young and old thanks to dedication, persistence, and great talent. This minimalist, exquisite production is a gem crafted from top-quality raw material. 40 minutes of a dream that will give you plenty to talk about on the philosophical walk home with the kids." Merav Yudlovich. "Ruti Tamir sweeps an entire hall of children and their parents, like a storm, into the world she created, touching the heart of every boy and girl in the audience. There is no doubt this is a wonderful, truly one-of-a-kind show. With her sensitivity, wisdom and creativity, Tamir draws the audience and parents into a magical, heartwarming journey on stage." Noam Marom, Marta Yodaat. "A show that combines a few words with loads of Tamir's tremendous pantomime, and a set hiding treasures and soul within it — so much soul. 50 magical minutes. We loved it!" Odelia Tzadok, culture blogger. "The virtuoso actress and wonderful creator Ruti Tamir in a powerful show delivered (almost) without words through visual clowning (special pantomime). My daughter sat riveted through the whole show, using her imagination together with the actress and the other children who came to watch. At the end, the wonderful actress let the children analyze the show from their own point of view and even answered their questions with great patience. Don't miss it." Naama Tzemach, culture blogger. "A recommended show with a kind of classic elegance — Tamir embodies an imaginary character, a kind of clown without clear age or gender, deliberately not anchored in present-day reality but in an inner, dreamlike theatrical reality... By way of allusion, one could say Gogo is a sort of double for the character of Godot from 'Waiting for Godot' (Samuel Beckett). Every gesture and movement of Tamir's is long and expressive, full of classic grace, refinement and precision, just like a ballerina.... My son sat focused through the whole show and came out of it with sparkling eyes and a smile." Nano Shabtai, Haaretz Gallery.
