Gil Kofman “Surfers” and Catherine Asanov “Cyrillia”. In Kofman’s “Surfers,” he places the figures on an empty stage, with a simple setting, and “turn(s) their leisure into something more existential and universal”. He establishes
this happening with the intention of eliciting the viewer’s own responses, and thus producing one’s individual play. Catherine Asanov grew up hearing stories from her mother which examined her Russian background and led to their discussions of Russian culture. Her project “Cyrillia” is devoted to the narrative of sharing these tales.
