Mayumana

Since its conception in 1996, Mayumana is dedicated to the joy of making art, and the art of joy-making. Mayumana’s basic art-and-joy-making tools are rhythm and coordination.

Rhythm is the universal language that synchronizes one heartbeat to another those are the foundation for Mayumanas expressions in music dance play and humor.

Every show produced by Mayumana endeavors to “visualize the music” with its audience. In addition, the power of each Mayumana creation comes from the strong emphasis placed on the unity and synchronization of the group.

Simultaneously, the unique talent of each performer is highlighted and celebrated. Mayumana’s playfulness extends beyond the stage, reaching out to engage in direct interactions with its audiences of all ages and cultures.

Mayumana has produced many shows including Mayumana, BE, Momentum, Bejuntos, Malabi, Rumba! and Currents. Mayumana has also collaborated with many artistes around the world including Bobby McFerrin, David Broza, Mati Caspi, Estopa, Infected Mushroom , Tiesto and many more.

Today, the artistic and managing team of Mayumana is led by Boaz Berman & Roy Milo
Mayumana has performed in more than 40 countries and for more than 15
million spectators around the world.

Please note: In the event of inclement weather, Israel at 75 will be held at the Mayerson JCC. Please check social media and MayersonJCC.org for updates.
