Amit Drori

Savanna is a journey through a fantastical landscape, an African garden of Eden inhabited by beautiful, automated animals: elephants, snakes, turtles, birds, snails, moths and caterpillars.

Drori’s hand-crafted, mechanical bestiary seems to come straight from the imagination of Leonardo da Vinci; it speaks to us from a lost paradise, a place of memories and beautiful sounds.

Discreet and touching, Savanna’s two interrelated stories, exquisite robotic animals and moving sculptures, reflect human feelings and imagination. The landscape of Savanna is a metaphor for our emotions.

Amit Drori trained at the School of Visual Theatre in Jerusalem. Savanna is his company’s second show to be produced at Switzerland’s Théâtre Vidy, Lausanne.
