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 5 December 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.

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.
