BIO
Ariel Doron is a puppeteer, director and performer. In his artistic work, he uses little or no text and a lot of humor, recurrently addressing difficult social and political issues.
Each project is created with the hope of expanding and questioning the means used, whether puppets or not, and with the desire to inspire the public to feel, think and react. His solo shows such as Boxed, Plastic Heroes and Pinhas have been performed at festivals and theaters in over 30 countries around the world.
Ariel currently lives in Germany and has collaborated or staged shows for several institutions, such as the Schauburg Theater München, Theater Junge Generation Dresden, Maxim Gorki Theater Berlin, The Elbphilharmonie or the Hamburg Opera, among others. Ariel is also a teacher and has been invited to give training at various institutions, such as Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Stuttgart, UQAM Université de Québec Montréal, Central School of Speech & Drama, London, among others.
Ariel also works with puppets for film or television (he is Elmo, in the Israeli version of Sesame Street).
He studied puppetry at the School of Visual Theater in Jerusalem and cinema at the University of Tel Aviv, in addition to participating in several workshops at the Institut International de la Marionnette in Charleville-Mézières, France.
At FIMFA Lx18 we had the chance to see his creativity in Plastic Heroes and he directed an online workshop on the Funicular Project during FIMFA Lx21.
