Hora

Ohad Naharin’s choreography is infused with the rarest of qualities, experimenting boldly with body language to produce a distinctive and arresting combination of content and form. Noted for its physical virtuosity and bewitching lines, Tel Aviv’s Batsheva Dance Company conveys the daring spirit and exacting discipline of its artistic director.

Naharin’s Hora unfurls a ravishing vision of abstraction, sensuality, and playfulness. Isao Tomita’s inventive soundtrack, a collage of classical masterpieces (Strauss, Wagner, Grieg, Debussy, and even John Williams) played on an array of vintage analog synths, provides harmonic elegance to this remarkable work.
