OFF EUROPA: PERFORMING LOVE

RONI CHADASH & COMPANY (ISRAEL)

The young ensemble dances the idea of LOVE in many facets, as effectively as warm-heartedly as a process and as a physical state - charismatic and moving.

‘This age, which prefers the image to the thing, the copy to the original, the imagination to reality, appearance to essence (...) only illusion is sacred to it, but truth is profane.’ Ludwig Feuerbach, 1841

‘A journey through the blurred boundaries between love and admiration, longing and despair, between the mechanical and the human, the unique and the unoriginal, the clichéd and the real.’ From the materials for the performance

perFORMing LOVE is Roni Chadash's largest group choreography to date. The young ensemble dances the theme of LOVE in many facets, both effectively and warmly as a process and as a physical state. The performance - potentially kitschy, of course, with such a theme - is charismatic and moving and, as a group work, a great utopia in remembrance of the state of our world. Roni Chadash works as a choreographer, performer and teacher in Tel Aviv. In her movement research, she breaks down bodies into different, independently functioning areas. Her constant search centres on uncovering instinctive, emotional and unfiltered sources of movement. The way she deals with the body frees it from history, stereotypes and labelling and confronts it with other bodies, but also with space and time. Roni Chadash has been honoured with numerous awards both in Israel and abroad. OFF EUROPA has been following Roni Chadash's work since 2016 and has so far shown VICTIMS & IMAGES (2019) and CHAPTERS OF JOY (2022) in Leipzig.

No language skills required.

Duration: approx. 60 minutes.
