100 men

Hadas Neuman

“100 Men” is a hybrid video performance where cinema and stage intertwine in a personal exploration of memory, fatherhood, and absence. The artist moves through a series of encounters with unfamiliar men, attempting to approach the figure of a father she has never known. On stage, a treadmill, continuous movement, and projected dialogues with the past transform a private story into a universal reflection on loneliness, loss, and the search for connection.
