If Blue Man Group and Stomp had a child, it just might be this innovative troupe that takes you on a breathless journey of sound and light, combining music, visual effects and skilled performers in constant movement in a one-of-a-kind experience.

Background

IN 1996, EYLON NUPHAR AND BOAZ BERMAN, DRIVEN BY THEIR DEEP LOVE FOR PERCUSSION AND MUSIC, CREATED THE FIRST MAYUMANA SHOW.

From around the world, Berman and Nuphar gathered a small group of gifted performers, each with diverse talents and contrasting backgrounds. Sparked by their shared passion for rhythm and coordination, and fueled by their unique sense of humor and mischief, their group dynamic on stage was inexhaustible and infectious. Enriched by working with a multicultural cast, they all inspired each other to fulfill the individual’s prowess in his/her area of expertise, while developing in all players the versatility to master other skills. This befits the name Mayumana, which comes from the Hebrew word for skill – Meyumanut.

“An explosive outburst of vitality, energy and delightful acting” ~ Santiago, Chile

The power of each Mayumana creation comes from the strong emphasis placed on the unity and synchronization of the group as a whole. At the same time, the talent and beauty of the individual performer is highlighted and celebrated. Mayumana’s playfulness extends beyond the stage, reaching out to engage in direct interactions with its audiences of all ages and cultures.

16 years later with performers from more than 20 different nationalities, Mayumana has become one of Israel’s leading cultural exports. It has entertained millions of people around the world with its international touring cast, as well as in its home theatre, The Mayumana House, which is located at the old harbor of Jaffa.
