Hed
HED is a long duration ritualistic performance, unfolding in a temporary structure within an open space.
Lasting six hours, the performance takes place continuously throughout an entire night.
HED is a place. A space that breathes, responds, and transforms in reaction to its surroundings. The walls illuminate, water rises from the ground, and the wind enters to fill the space. It is an immersive cultural-ritualistic experience, exploring the essence of ceremonies in various forms.
Utilizing augmented reality sound technology, motion sensors, interactive lighting, and various embedded chips, HED fosters a direct interaction between the participants, the facilitator, and the environment.
The performance is divided into three consecutive ceremonies, each lasting two hours, offering distinct qualities and meanings. The audience size varies according to each segment.
Inside of HED there are three ceremonies:
Hidhud | Hedim |Hod
​
HidHud (ECHOING)
​
Prayer is one of the most primal human rituals, accessible at any moment. It can be a general invocation for a better future or a focused wish for immediate transformation—a magical act, a tangible request.
At the entrance, a host welcomes the participants, guiding them inward. Each participant writes their wish on a piece of paper before entering the space, where the ritual begins. This is an intimate, one-on-one ceremony.
The participant hands their written wish to the facilitator within the space, and together they elevate it—transforming it from mere words into a resonating presence. Through voice, movement, and shared echoing, the prayer takes on a physical form, becoming an integral part of the space itself.
Each session lasts 10 minutes per participant.

Hedim (REVERBERATIONS)
The host welcomes the participant, initiating a discussion on the concept of "prophecy." The participant is then connected to a motion sensor system and enters the space alone.Equipped with motion sensors, the participant’s presence and movements directly affect the environment. The space reacts dynamically, inviting them to explore how their actions shape the surroundings through a sequence of physical interactions.This experience facilitates a deep, personal exploration through presence, voice, and movement—a place to project thoughts and give them tangible form.This is a solo encounter; at any given moment, only one participant is in the space. Each participant may stay for up to 10 minutes, depending on the next person waiting.
Hod (RESONANCE)
Participants are invited to freely enter the space and receive a "blessing."Guided through a multi-sensory journey, they are immersed in an environment that is semi-structured yet offers freedom of movement—a moment of pause, introspection, and interaction with the elements in the space.Through imagery, movement, objects, and facilitation, each participant finds their own place in the experience, engaging with the present moment and allowing it to lead them. This is a space for discovery—where one can sing, move, listen, or simply be.Up to 20 participants may enter simultaneously, each choosing how long to stay. The full cycle of this segment lasts two hours.
