The two established Clipa Theater in Tel - Aviv in 1995. Their partnership led to the emergence of a unique theatrical language, interweaving the arts of theatre, dance, design and music, that placed Clipa as the leading alternative theater group in Israel.
Idit directs and designs all the group's pieces.

The theatrical style, which has grown over the years to become synonymous with the group, is characterized by a totality encompassing each and every element of the performance. It entails absolute knowledge and command of all the elements of creation: movement, space, costume, set, sound, lighting and direction. In the group's work, these components are fundamental tools of expression alongside the performer's action on stage.
