YOTAM PELED & FREE RADICALS
Yotam Peled & the Free Radicals acts as a project-based company engaging different freelancers, focusing on contemporary interdisciplinary creation – addressing topics of gender, power structures and community rituals.
The ensemble was established in September 2018, following the creation of Entropia, as part of ‘THINK BIG’ project at the State Opera of Hannover. Out of our understanding of the need for sustainable, independent performance art, we aim to establish a relationship with our local community, built on mutual exchange and growth. The Free Radicals, therefore, focus on creating and touring in Europe and operate both in conventional and alternative spaces, and often engage in workshops, and site-specific productions.
Our creative process and output are centered around the body and the potential of movement to transform social codes. Aspects of our existence which are often considered dark, inappropriate, or wild, receive space and treatment in our performances, both as a space for healing and critical reflection. Each project is a creation of a mini-universe, an attempt to deconstruct human mythology, and as such we often work with utopian and
dystopian settings. The movement research and language of the ensemble is inspired by Yotam’s biography, originating from circus and martial arts – working with the extremities of the body and the impossible, as well as rave culture – a ritual of repetition and emotional intensity.
The company’s independent creations include: ALPHA (2019), migrena2x2 (2021), fauna futura (2021), HEIMAT (2021), GET A GRIP (2021), Where the Boys Are (2023), FISTS TO FLOWERS (2023).
Yotam Peled & the Free Radicals is supported by DIEHL+RITTER/TANZPAKT RECONNECT, which is funded by the German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media as part of the NEUSTART KULTUR initiative.
