Stones

What happens when a bird wakes up an entire monument to warrior heroes?

“Stones” is a visual poetic performance created by Yinon Tzafrir.

Inspired by The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Monument by Nathan Rapoport, the piece unfolds through the perspective of a sculpture that comes to life. It leads us on an ironic journey through the 20th century — a passage woven with spirits, memories, and echoes of the past.

“Stones” is a bittersweet and surprising performance, rich with powerful imagery, where the present constantly dialogues with history. Moments of shock dissolve into laughter, revealing a layered emotional experience. The performance reflects a deep passion for life, explores heroic myth, and celebrates the enduring victory of the human spirit.

Through subtle acting, a distinctive soundtrack and original visual metaphors, Orto-Da Group creates a unique theatrical language. Their work demonstrates how poetry and imagination can transform even the darkest moments of history into expressions of beauty and hope.

“Stones” is presented at a wide range of festivals — indoor and outdoor, by day or night — including theater, dance, visual, puppet, pantomime, and street festivals.
