Balancing in Freedom is a 70-minute one-person show written and performed by Edinburgh-based multidisciplinary artist Iddo Oberski, co-directed by Mark Kydd. It weaves together memoir, philosophy, puppetry, live music, visual art, spoken word, and magic into a single, sustained theatrical experience - one that moves between intimacy and spectacle, grief and humour, the deeply personal and the universal. Oberski arrives on stage in a two-tone black and white suit, placing his two walking sticks into a pair of boots positioned at either side of the performance space. What follows is not a lecture, not a conventional narrative, and not a standard one-man show. It is closer to a philosophical cabaret: a live inquiry into what it means to be human, to be free, and to keep moving forward when the ground beneath you has shifted. Three strands run through the work. The first is Oberski's family history: most of his Amsterdam family were murdered in the Holocaust. He recounts this not through conventional storytelling but through careful, oblique disclosure - details that accumulate into something deeply affecting. The second strand is his own experience of disability. In 2009, Oberski suffered a spinal stroke that left him without conscious sensation in his lower limbs.
