"Voiceless" is a choreographic reimagining of the Jewish Talmudic legend The Carpenter’s Apprentice, told for the first time from a female perspective

The central figure, a rootless woman betrayed by her husband and his carpenter, embarks on a journey of self-reconstruction, searching for voice and identity amidst the ruins of a collapsed home.

Between a silenced history and a charged present, the work illuminates both destruction and the potential for rebirth—on a personal and collective level.
