View allAbout This Event
Balancing in Freedom is a multi-art form event in Edinburgh where Iddo Oberski and Svjetlana explore personal history, disability and philosophy. The performance blends storytelling with dialogue to examine how challenging experiences shape identity. It is scheduled for 20 November 2026 at the Scottish Storytelling Centre with tickets from £10 to £12.
Balancing in Freedom is a journey through the landscape of personal story, searching for meaning, connection and expression. In this unique blending of multiple art forms, Iddo Oberski takes us on a deeply personal exploration of his family’s Holocaust history, his own disability and Rudolf Steiner’s Philosophy of Freedom. In regular dialogue with his larger-than-life collaborator Svjetlana, Iddo is shown gently how such diverse and challenging experiences may never be fully understood. They shape us, and through creating art we may come closer to making some sense of ourselves, human life and the world we live in. Described by critics as ‘exceptional’ and ‘spell-binding’, with five-star reviews from The Student and four stars from The Herald, The Skinny and Scotsgay Arts. Following sold-out shows at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, Balancing in Freedom continues to tour in 2026. Written and performed by Iddo Oberski with Mark Kydd as Creative Mentor and Co-Director.
