Earlier this month, the cast of Off-Broadway's Be took to the streets as part of the Tribeca Film Festival's annual "Family Festival" street fair. The Israeli-based group Mayumana is currently performing Be at the Union Square Theatre.
Conceived and directed by Mayumana founders Eylon Nuphar and Boaz Berman, Be marks the performance troupe's American premiere production. "Throughout the past decade, more than four million people have experienced a Mayumana show, and to date, the Mayumana company has performed more than 5,000 shows in more than 30 countries across the globe. Throughout the last six years, there has been a Mayumana show – usually two or more – performing somewhere in the world almost every evening. Conceived by Eylon Nuphar and Boaz Berman in Tel Aviv in 1996, Mayumana (from the Hebrew meaning skill) is a purely theatrical event that combines elements from various art disciplines based on music, movement, acting, dance and rhythm. An ever-evolving performance piece, Mayumana has gone through constant re-creation in its ten-year history, giving focus to the individual talents of its evolving roster of cast members, who come to the show from all parts of the globe," state press materials.
