The production, winner of the Honorable Mention Price at the Acco Festival for alternative theater in 2006, is collaboration between a plastic artist and a choreographer which gives birth to a unique architectonic object that creates a world both penetrated and penetrable.
In this world and through that object, the audience emerges into the spatial expanse of the movement event.
The location of the spectator in relation to the expanse, the performer, and the other spectators, raises questions impinging on the boundaries of personal space, the tension posed by the lure created by physical proximity, and the danger and attraction of donning a disguise.
Tetris presents an uncommon balance existing between the spectators and the dancers: touching upon the tensions between movement and fixation, proximity and distance, between the estrangement of alienation and an involving, mutual experience

"Finally, the most Ingenious work I have seen for a long time: TETRIS, a stage creation directed by an exceptional Israeli choreographer. From the moment you enter the Museum of Contemporary Art, everything is original. The Group of dancers that move to the sounds of electronic music excelled in creating intensive allegory images concerning couples relations ships, sex, loneliness, death and other themes that are presented almost above you. If to make a comparison to Cinema – Tetris brings the close-up view to the theatrical stage. The sweat of the male dancers, the wet skin of the tinny dancer, or the beautiful eyes of the blond girl… It is Ingenious, attractive, beautiful, exciting and original. A work you will never forget”.
“TETRIS by the Israeli dance group of Noa Dar is one of the most innovative performances to ever being presented on the stages of Santiago a Mil. The atmosphere combines ritual glory with tranquility. The music is gentle, light is dim and on the stage – variety of angels utilized: up, down and forward. A clamming feminine voice guides the 69 spectators. Everybody participate actively. The work is called TETRIS for the movements use all stage's surfaces possible, like in the game by the same name. There is no linear story, only sensations that keep the audience attentive and alert all the time. The group involves modern dance with theater. The facial expressions are essentials for interoperate the physical movements of the dancers. The performers look into the eyes of the spectator who locked in cages and jump over their heads. The music is loud in your ears, the stage trembles strongly until you fear that it would fall down, but the whole experience is very well designed” .
Maria Paz Elgria, "EL MERCURIO", January 2008, Santiago, chile.
“The goal that led the creators was to examine artist – spectator’s relations, while giving the spectators an innovative experience of viewing a performance that takes a laboratory shape. The goal was achieved above and beyond, as seen in theses performances where the performers dance only centimeters away from the spectator’s heads.” LA SEGUNDA, January 2008, Santiago, Chile, Javier Eibkcha

“The joint creation of choreographer Noa Dar and plastic artist Natti Shamia-Ofer, offers a different viewpoint which is altered by the occurrences on the stage. The “peeking” idea which stands behind the brilliant production, the assorted ensemble of the participating dancers broadens the opportunities held by the concept.” Meirav Yodelvitz, “Ynet”, 11/10/06
“The view is mesmerizing, more “Matrix” than “Tetris”: the giant white board from which poke out tens of cut-off heads, giggling and winking, it is a surreal feeling. This human landscape is exceptional. Everyone, tramples’ and trampled, felt relieved at the third and exciting part of the performance.”
Eitan Bar Yossef, “Achbar Ha’ir”, 13/10/06

celebration – all you need is to loosen your conventions, take a deep breath and enjoy the abundance surrounding you” Itay Mautner, “NRG”, Jan, 07
