LEVIAH is a visual memoir about vulnerability, power, and powerlessness.
Choreographer Reut Shemesh shares a collection of memories from her service in the Israeli military and brings into awareness a phenomenon that has not often been spoken about: the emotional difficulties and despair that female soldiers experience in junior positions. Many of them suffer from a loss of control, eating disorders, and endure sexual harassment.
The work tests the borders between vulnerability and control, the transition from human to mechanic and the collision between present and past. Leviah brings into light the effect of political processes on the individual’s psyche.
