KOL ADAM (Voice Of Humanity)

In the heart of the storm, from the wound and the pain, Rami Be’er’s new creation cries out—not in anger, but in mourning, compassion, and deep yearning.

Kol Adam (Voice of Humanity) is a hauntingly beautiful and urgent work that confronts the devastating toll of war—not on “sides,” but on lives. It is a lament for what is lost, a reckoning with the present, and a fragile offering of hope for what still might be possible.

Through Be’er’s signature choreographic language—layered, poetic, and emotionally unflinching—the stage becomes a space of collective remembrance and reflection. Bodies collide and reach, fracture and heal. The movement traces the invisible line between red and white, between despair and possibility. Each gesture pulses with longing: for peace, for connection, for a return to something deeply human.

Kol Adam does not seek to provide answers, but rather to embody the question: How do we hold grief, complexity, and the flicker of hope all at once? It is a mirror held up to the audience—not to reflect ideology, but to reflect our shared humanity.

In the wake of conflict, the company was forced to leave its home and creative sanctuary in the north at its home at The International Dance Village in Kibbutz Ga’aton. Dancers were dispersed, the theater went dark. And yet, in the midst of uncertainty, the company continued—performing in schools, shelters, and communities for thousands of displaced people. Art did not stop. Creation did not stop. Humanity did not stop.

Now, returned to its home, Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company brings this work to the world as both a personal and universal offering. Kol Adam is not only a performance—it is a voice for those silenced, a dance for those grieving, and an invitation to feel, to listen, and to remember what connects us all.

Any interpretation is unnecessary… because an interpretation leads to an interpretation of an interpretation, and an interpretation, an interpretation of an interpretation. In the end, the interpretations themselves create an issue to be interpreted, while in the meantime, a person’s years pass by and the interpretations remain unclarified.” Sh. Y. Agnon, Sefer Takhlit HaMa’asim, Ha-Esh Veha-Atsim, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, 1967, p. 163.

“A dance composed of sorrow and beauty, serving as a warning signal for the future awaiting us — if we fail to remember that above all stands our humanity.”
— Gabi Eldor, Habama

“Rami Be’er’s KOL ADAM with the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company rises from the blood of October 7 into a universal message… The company’s outstanding dancers flood the stage with a torrent of movement — raw, explosive, and awe-inspiring in their full-hearted commitment.”
— Ran Brown, Haaretz

“One of the reasons KOL ADAM will not be easily forgotten is the urgency that seeps through its cracks.”
— Ora Brafman, DanceTalk
