Drawing on personal experiences, original new writing and film-making underpinned by a live looped soundscape, Unnatural Cycles – A Ghost Story is a nuanced exploration of infertility, faith and what it means to bear the weight of inherited generational trauma.

Unnatural Cycles emerged from a dream in which Avital met her Grandmother, followed by a year of listening to old cassettes in which she was interviewed about her experiences surviving the Jewish Holocaust. Unnatural Cycles was developed during 2021 through commissions from Sheffield Theatres, Contact, Lancaster Arts and National Lottery funding.
