*ABOUT Avshalom Pollak*: Pollak, Director of Oyster, was born in Israel in
1970. He was trained as a classical actor and graduated from The Nissan
Nativ Drama School in Tel-Aviv. He developed an understanding early on of
the commitment and drive needed to create a high-quality theatrical
experience for an audience, after observing his father, a well-known Israel
actor, from backstage. He has acted in a large number of films and
television programs as well as many theatrical plays at The Habimah
National Theatre, The Cameri Theatre, Gesher Theatre and The Haifa
Municipal Theatre. Roles have included Romeo in Romeo and Juliet, Casssio
in Othello, Valere in The Miser, Tuzenbach in Three Sisters, Phillip in
Orphans and many others.

*About the Company:* Inbal Pinto & Avshalom Pollak Dance Company was
founded in 1992 and has toured the globe to critical acclaim. The company
consists of 12 dancer/actors working among various artistic disciplines to
create new work informed by memories, longings, ideas and imagination. In
Cleveland, the company will perform Oyster, a magical and mysterious work
that combines the dreamlike qualities of Fellini and the keen intellect of
Pina Bausch. Enter a fantastic circus-world of wandering street acrobats
and oddly beautiful creatures. Performers and dancers in doll-like make-up,
spiky blonde wigs, and tutus alternately become puppets or puppeteers. The
unique movement combines ballet, contemporary, mime and acrobatics in an
unforgettable, magical evening.
