Barbed Hula

A stark, looping performance piece in which Sigalit Landau spins a hula hoop made of barbed wire at sunrise on a Tel‑Aviv beach. The work turns a familiar gesture into a charged act of desensitization, merging bodily risk with the political tensions of borders—both geographic and sub‑skin. The speed of the movement blurs pain into endurance, transforming a simple dance into a meditation on danger, history, and the invisible forces that shape a body’s relationship to its environment.

Early morning silence is broken by screeching tires as a helicopter bears down on a speeding vehicle. Taking a quick corner, the team tumbles out into the woods as their car pulls away. Now they must make their way through the thick of nature and thick gunfire to accomplish their mission. Not a single word of dialogue is spoken throughout the entire film. Instead, the music, sounds, images and deeply truthful acting turn a simple plot into an intense experience. Passion and intrigue keep building to the very end.
