This hula performance shows a trio of young men, close friends interacting within the centrifugal force of an oversized hula hoop with a diameter of three meters. Their tour de force, keeping the hoop moving and evenly balanced, can only succeed if they together act like one single body. This is a metaphor that stands not only for Israel and for the European Union, but is also highly relevant for all states around the globe. (Doris Leutgeb)
