GIRLANDA

Tel Aviv

GIRLANDA

 

One evening. Six creators. Different worlds collide.

Creations by Talia Beck, Noa Eshkol (restaged by Mor Bashan), Noa Zuk and Ohad Fishof, Nava Frankel and Nadav Zelner.

 

World premiere performed by Batsheva – The Young Ensemble.

Lighting Design: Avi Yona Bueno (Bambi)
Costume Design: Anna Mirkin


In her first season as Artistic Director, and for the first time in Batsheva history, Gili Navot invites a rich array of creators to develop a one-time work with the Young Ensemble dancers. The various creations will blend into one evening, where each piece stands on its own, but influences the performance as a whole.

VIP 
by Nadav Zelner
Friends. Who are these people whom we trust to keep our most hidden secrets and always be there for us? In which relationships do we protect ourselves? How willing are we to shed our defenses and dedicate ourselves to the meaningful connections in our lives?
Dancers: Sean Howe, Shaked Werner, Nicolas Ventura, Béatrice Larrivée, Federico Longo, Gianni Notarnicola, Tom Nissim and Avigail Shafrir.

Music: Al Ajaleh – The Orchestra of Syrian Musicians

Dora
by Nadav Zelner
A work for two dancers that explores our sensation of the mystical and the sacred in the realm of superstition, where imagination overcomes common sense. In a world based on logic and reason, what are the beliefs that come to undermine our rationale? Why are we so afraid of the unknown? The work examines the relationship between the controllable and uncontrollable and examines our need for these beliefs. Do they protect us or restrict us? And most importantly, what will happen when we stop believing?
Dancers: Shaked Werner and Avigail Shafrir.
Music: Dama Dam Mast Qalandar – Runa Laila
 
HHH
by Talia Beck
The piece was created by and for the dancers. A fine tapestry of the living and breathing elements of a group.
Dancers-creators: César Brodermann, Sean Howe, Nicolas Ventura, Ido Toledano, Reches Itzhaki, Federico Longo, Gianni Notarnicola Tom Nissim, Guy Davidson.
Original music: Guy Scherf and Flora (Liron Meshulam)
 
Hold Me
by Nava Frankel
A performance piece in collaboration with all the ensemble dancers. Through simple, familiar structures and a transparent mechanism, they become responsible (and obligated) to another existential state, where there is a perpetual, simultaneous, occurrence in both the upper and lower realms, in the midst of both the revealed and the hidden. 
Music: Diamond Dancer by Bill Callahan
