“The Project – Contemporary Dance Repertoire” in Tel Aviv
with pieces by Marco Goecke, Jacopo Godani and Imanuel Gat. Ruth Eshel wrote about the performance on Dec. 2nd 2010 in “Ha’aretz”
The pleasure in watching “The Project – Contemporary Dance Repertoire” resurrected the hope that one day there will be a contemporary repertoire dance group in Israel
“The Project – Contemporary Dance Repertoire” is a welcomed initiative by the Suzanne Dellal Centre and the Israeli Opera that bread an exquisite, diverse and extraordinary program. We can only hope that this is the beginning of a contemporary repertoire dance group, which is currently missing from the landscape of the Israeli dance scene. For “The Project” twelve Israeli dancers were assembled, many of whom have danced in well known overseas ensembles. They brought to the stage, a wonderful performance level and a “European” sense of meticulousness, together with Israeli energy. It is clear to see that the dancers master the technique of classical ballet as well as the quality of modern dancers.
…”Through the Center” by Emanuel Gat… reflects his artistic voice which can be described as a kaleidoscope of constant movement. The construction and deconstruction of the dancers structures, the rich fabric of layered interactions, usually during a movement forward on stage while frequently changing directions, all of these creating a richness of detail.
…Another terrific piece created especially for this project was “Light Years” by Godani. While Gat’s opus is that of restraint, Godani’s work is of fiery energy, of dancers boiling with lava… blocks of dancers moving in carnal energy, in extravagant motions which want to swallow everything standing in its way. And there are also some beautiful solo moments it this piece as well.
… Marco Goecke’s “Supernova” belongs to the small collection of current humoristic dances… In one of the moments a duo is dancing close together looking as if they are crabs mating… Suddenly the energy is taken from the body and they seem to be floating elastically on water… The material is intriguing, refreshing and delightful.
…An evening of complete delight!

World Premiere of Marco Goeckes Firebird pas de Deux
Marco Goecke selects the finale pas de deux from Fokine’s fantastical ballet, in which prince and firebird meet for a brief moment and touch: an arm, a head, a flap of the wing, relief after the rescue, a bird that dances, a human who flies – an ephemeral but moving encounter between two creatures of different natures
