Roundtable workshop by Israel Aloni at Trans Europe Halles
Israel Aloni is attending the Trans Europe Halles Camp meeting in Riga between 30 Oct - 02 Nov 2025.
They will also be leading a roundtable workshop on 1 November 2025, as part of their role as a researcher in the Cultural Transformation Movement Project (CTMP) - a European Cooperation project coordinated by Trans Europe Halles.
The roundtable workshop will be dedicated to thinking about creation processes which involve, include, relate to and consider community and ideas about diversification of knowledge, methodologies and aesthetics. It will also offer insight to the work and developments of the Cultural Transformation Movement Project thus far and involve all the participants in dynamic collective imagining of creative processes that can, in some way, transgress convention.
Boys Just Want to Have Fun Residency
Artistic director Israel Aloni together with the performers Victor Persson, Elias Khanamidi, Tomer Giat, Atte Rimpelö, Enzo Hacquin and Fabio Liberti will be in residency at KHIDI Club, Tbilisi, Georgia from 02-11 November 2025, they will have an open rehearsal on 12 November and they will perform from 13-15 November 2025.
‘Boys Just Want To Have Fun’ is a durational multi-disciplinary dance-performance act to be presented in white exhibition/gallery spaces. The work confronts the challenge of deconstructing the ‘man’ and taboos around men’s sensuality and tactility in mainstream Western culture by addressing power dynamics and hierarchies of social positioning in the visual art space (the gallery), politics of object and subject (presenting man as an object), questioning what a body is and how its utterances are informed by its process of becoming, as well as the practice of individual agency in a public space (both for the public and the performers).
In this project, objectification is utilised to examine the ‘man’ as an artwork, a creation, or a fiction. The question is, how are men being ‘man-ified’ and ‘man-ifactured’ in our society?
The public will be actively invited to come and leave as they please, as well as choose their own spatial trajectory in the performance space, fostering a sense of active participation and engagement.

PASSING Performance
Israel Aloni collaborated with five local artists in Sofia, Bulgaria in September 2025, on the creation of PASSING.
Israel Aloni´s new work titled PASSING is an examination of the distorted field between being what you say that you are and saying what you feel that you are. It challenges the notion of identity and furthermore, that of its politics. Why do so many of us try to pass the test in the school of social conformism? What are the processes and mechanisms we employ to affirm the identities we assign to what we perceive to be our-self?
The piece was commissioned by Toplocentrala and premiered at their venue on September 4, 2025.
More details on the performance on 7 November at Toplocentrala and tickets can be found here

‘Boys Just Want To Have Fun’ is a durational multi-disciplinary dance-performance act to be presented in white exhibition/gallery spaces. The work confronts the challenge of deconstructing the ‘man’ and taboos around men’s sensuality and tactility in mainstream Western culture by addressing power dynamics and hierarchies of social positioning in the visual art space (the gallery), politics of object and subject (presenting man as an object), questioning what a body is and how its utterances are informed by its process of becoming, as well as the practice of individual agency in a public space (both for the public and the performers).
In this project, objectification is utilised to examine the ‘man’ as an artwork, a creation, or a fiction. The question is, how are men being ‘man-ified’ and ‘man-ifactured’ in our society?
The public will be actively invited to come and leave as they please, as well as choose their own spatial trajectory in the performance space, fostering a sense of active participation and engagement.

A Moment of Endlessness - Performance
Dancing Histor(y)ies – binding Communities and Heritage through dance is a European project aimed at linking communities and cultural heritage through dance.
During Göteborgs Kulturkalas, artistic director Israel Aloni together with dancers Elias Khanamidi, Jennifer Wallén, Tomer Giat and Victor Persson will present two performances of “A Moment of Endlessness” on August 30, at 16.00 and 18.30, at Gathenhielmska Huset.
The performances reflect on how stories and histories, both distant and near, gain or lose meaning, depending on the contexts in which they are reiterated. Incorporating text by Hayim Nahman Bialik and Kohelet (Ecclesiastes), “A Moment Of Endlessness” explores senses and sensations of time and how it can be pulled, morphed and transformed through relations and relationships.
Admission is free and open to everyone, requiring registration to attend. Registration for tickets via https://www.ildance.se/tickets.
Dancing Histor(y)ies Festivals was held throughout the summer of 2025 in Rome (Italy), Nora (Sardinia), Viminacium (Serbia), Merida (Spain), and Gothenburg (Sweden).
The project is supported by Creative Europe.
Gaga/People Gothenburg
Gaga/people classes on August 30, Saturday as part of Göteborgs Kulturkalas. The classes will take place at 14.30 and 17.00 at Gathenhielmska Huset and will be led by Lee Brummer. You can read more here.
Admission to classes is free, registration required. Registration for tickets via: https://www.ildance.se/tickets
Gaga provides a framework for discovering and strengthening the body and adding flexibility, stamina, agility, and skills including coordination and efficiency while stimulating the senses and imagination. The classes offer a workout that investigates form, speed, and effort while traversing additional spectrums such as those between soft and thick textures, delicacy and explosive power, and understatement and exaggeration. Participants awaken numb areas, increase their awareness of habits, and improve their efficiency of movement inside multilayered tasks, and they are encouraged to connect to pleasure inside moments of effort. The movement research of Gaga is in a continual process of evolution, and the classes vary and develop accordingly.
Classes are open to participants from the age of 16. No previous dance or movement experience is necessary.
