Israeli Performer Noa
Noa is Israel's leading international concert and recording artist. The world music superstar studied at the Rimon School where she met her long-time partner and collaborator, Gil Dor. Noa's strongest influences come from the singer-songwriters of the '60s, including Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen.
Consulate General of Israel to the Middle Atlantic Region supports this event in partnership with the Jewish Federation of Delaware.

INBAL PINTO & AVSHALOM POLLAK DANCE COMPANY
 It's dance theatre at its best when fantasy meets sideshow spectacle in Inbal Pinto & Avshalom Pollak's master work Oyster, a full-length regional premiere about a fantastic circus world of wandering street acrobats and other bizarre characters dressed in doll-like make-up, spiky blonde wigs and tutus.
The Village Voice described this masterful work as "part surreal vaudeville, part circus, and part toy store after midnight...a delight for the eye" and the Washington Post states it is "a work of stunning beauty that transcends time and place."
Jan. 28-29, Ohio Theatre, Cleveland
Feb. 9-11, Annenberg Center, Philadelphia
The group will also make an appearance in New Brunswick, NJ and Boston.
