The creators, Lior Halfon and Shai Fishman, envisioned a group of performers dressed completely in white with red lips. The Voca People claim to come from the Planet Voca (somewhere behind the
Sun) where all communication is based on music and vocal expressions. They float around in space in their ship, which is powered by nothing more than music, and arrived on Earth which has a great repertoire of music. Their motto is: "Life is music and music is life." In
Italy they became famous through a clip on YouTube, which had over 15 million hits in less than one year, and a series of television appearances. Their first appearance in an Italian TV show was
Ale e Franz on 28 September 2009. Later they also appeared on
Domenica In and the Italian
X Factor. The Voca People sometimes mingle with crowds, singing, improvising and playing with passers-by. Their appearance and performances have been compared to
Blue Man Group. In 2010 they brought their show to
Italy with stops in
Rome,
Bari,
Milan,
Florence,
Padua,
Naples and
Turin. They returned in February 2011 to
Aosta. They performed during the closing ceremony of the 18th Shanghai international film festival in June 2015, Shanghai, China and also during the opening ceremony of the Eurovision song contest that was held in Tel Aviv in 2019. In 2023 they started touring with a whole new show called "The Voca People Cosmic Tour". ==Troupe members==
