About‭: ‬With the help of thirteen mechanical puppets‭, ‬Hila Flashkes creates a holographic version
of The Last Supper‭, ‬the masterpiece by Leonardo Da Vinci‭. ‬Flashkes uses this notorious image to
tell the story of a daughter who invites her family to the traditional Passover diner‭. ‬It‮’‬s a dinner
filled with difficulties and absurd situations‭, ‬in which food is a metaphor for the body‭, ‬heartbeat‭, ‬
breathing‭, ‬life‭, ‬the trivial loud sound of biting as opposed to death‭. ‬In image and sound these
notions become direct opposites in this adult puppet show‭.‬
