Jonathan creates a rich variety of stage events based on the changing seasons and the cycle of life. The audience is invited to study the performer’s private collections of simple natural elements: clouds, earth, leaves, and water. The children become active partners in the theatrical situation by helping the clouds take off with the wind, keeping the water flowing, and more. Together with his audience, Jonathan creates enchanting worlds of magic and fun, first time experiences, and childhood recollections.

Duration: 50 mins.

The performance is intended for children aged 4 and up

The term ‘reaction time’ refers to the interval between stimulation and response. Our absorption, processing, and sensory systems decipher the stimulus, as the information gathered by our senses undergoes cognitive processing, and is encoded in our memory. While we tend to attribute this term to instinctive systems, our body’s communication with the abstract, digital space –  which occupies a central part of our time – produces a disruption in notions of time and space as we know them, challenging our reaction time in these new territories. Reaction Time  is a playful arena within which the exhibiting artists challenge their viewers’ perception of reality and how they process information, producing an elastic experience of time that flows on parallel planes.

Gaon’s Salon returns to Jerusalem Design Week 2022 as a daily section inviting the audience to join an intimate and enriching conversation with creative individuals, intellectuals and experts on design, science and technology. Together with design curator Galit Gaon, they expand the discussion centered around the themes presented in Design Week, anchoring its content. The Salon is a cross-disciplinary curatorial platform that moves through time and space, and between the digital and physical realms, offering a real-time encounter between the transient and what is yet to come. Situated in the courtyard against the backdrop of the Time Tunnel, Galit Gaon will host detectors of the past and designers of the future local visual culture. Throughout the week, varying exhibitors will meet with a diverse range of researchers and embark on a joint journey through different time zones.

This year, the Salon is pleased to introduce a special section dedicated to Animation Union Israel. Each evening, a series of short films will be screened in the Salon, and uploaded in real time to a digital platform for eternal life.
