White Elephant

A site-specific show in the Montfort Lake

A white elephant is an idiom for a valuable but burdensome possession of which its owner cannot dispose and whose cost (particularly cost of upkeep) is out of proportion to its usefulness or worth.
The term derives from the story that the kings of Siam were accustomed to make a present of one of these animals to courtiers who had rendered themselves obnoxious, in order to ruin the recipient by the cost of its maintenance.
white elephant can also be today an idiom for Art and performance, in which many efforts and financial resources are usually invested, but the value is always measured in a spiritual currency.

Artistic direction: Idit Herman.
Live Music: Dmitri Tyulpanov.

the show will take place 3 times a day, in the mountfort lake, Ma'alot Tarshicha
during the International sculpture symposium, 8-11.4.2012
