Mayumana (group) — dance group with roots in the Russian Empire
Mayumana is an Israeli percussion, movement, and theatrical performance group founded in 1994 that has become one of Israel's most successful cultural exports. Their shows — combining body percussion, rhythm, and acrobatics — have been seen by millions worldwide and toured every continent.
Tracing the roots — Eylon Nuphar
Founded by Eylon Nuphar and built substantially by Israeli artists with Russian-Soviet backgrounds, Mayumana represents the Israeli performing arts scene that was transformed by the mass immigration of Soviet Jews after 1990. Many of its performers and collaborators have Russian-speaking backgrounds.
(Boaz Berman) - heavily influenced by Russian rhythmics.
