Pecha Kucha time people – you know the drill: 20 X 20 = 6 minutes and 40 seconds stage time and a plethora of cool stuff to enjoy and ponder. And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, make sure to get yourself down to Hangar 11 at the Port of Tel Aviv for Pecha Kucha #15 on Sunday, May 5th.

Some background info for the Pecha Kucha virgins:
Initiated by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham, the first Pecha Kucha took place in Tokyo, February 2003, and has since expanded worldwide. The fun, fascinating and fast 20 X 20 cultural format combines the entertaining with the informative: 20 images are presented for 20 seconds each, adding up to 6 minutes and 40 seconds stage time for each presenter.
Pecha Kucha (which loosely translated from Japanese means “chit chat”) curators Anat Safran and Itay Mautner, in collaboration with FAZA productions, continue to intrigue and entertain with their delectable discoveries. FAZA Productions makes this huge happening run smooth and chill.
