EYELIDless - 2021

In this multidisciplinary live performance by YAMILA streamed from the artist’s home, Ofer does light and image design and technical direction.  

The performance combines oneiric images from the artist’s imagination and mysterious sonic landscapes. The daily spaces transform into the site of a mystical encounter with what is beyond its walls. Decentralising the stage and the performing artist, the piece challenges the notion of concert.  

In times of social isolation and tiresome repetition, Eyelidless submerges the audience into the intimate and magical world of musical creation that hides in the cracks of the everyday — and indeed, transforms it, showing that art is not a luxury but a necessity.
