Uri Shafir

What makes a dance alive? How can choreography be born and written each time anew, in the same moment as it is performed? Is it possible to look at Nothingness as material? And if so, What does it look like?


What happens in the moments between the planned and the improvised? How does the dance change and respond to the space in which it exists, and how does the space affect it?

On an empty stage, with the audience seated in the round, we will dance for you a dance, and at the same time we will live for you a life. We will grow one hour older. And although we know the dance, and although we know ourselves- we will imagine that we do not. We will stop, we will suspend the next known moment, and will let Nothingness be discovered.

We will let it tell us something we didn’t know - about the nature of dance, about the nature of the body, about their ability to exist in constant friction between biology and culture, between knowing and not-knowing, between the everyday and the sublime.
