Front-Bending Contortion with Theatrical Heart
Front-bending contortion is rare, visceral, and deeply arresting — the body folds forward into itself, and emotions get twisted in full view. I pair my extreme flexibility with dance, clown, and storytelling, creating acts that captivate, unsettle, and linger long after the lights go down.
Contortion with theatrical soul? Yes, please.
Zohar’s acts stand out not just for what the body can do — but for the story it tells in the doing. Her signature lies in two powerful elements:
Front-bending – A rare and visceral form of contortion where the body folds forward into impossible shapes. It mesmerizes, unsettles, and fascinates. Unlike traditional contortion, which often emphasizes backbending, front-bending evokes a raw, almost intimate vulnerability. It’s the kind of movement that makes audiences feel — sometimes wonder, sometimes discomfort, always awe.
Theatrical fusion – Every act is shaped by Zohar’s passion for storytelling, dance, and physical theatre. Her pieces range from sultry and seductive to playful, eerie, and emotionally layered. In acts like La Catrina, she blends front- and back-bending with acting and dancing, bringing characters to life with body, face, and rhythm.
Each piece is meticulously crafted, often in collaboration with choreographers or artistic directors, to align with the mood and theme of a show. Zohar’s goal is not just to impress — but to move, to provoke, and to leave audiences with an image they’ll never forget.
