According to their website, 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 are highlighted and celebrated. Mayumana鈥檚 playfulness extends beyond the stage, reaching out to engage in direct interactions with its audiences of all ages and cultures.
Two decades after its inception, and featuring performers from more than 20 different nationalities, Mayumana has become one of Israel鈥檚 leading cultural exports. The troupe 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.
