Hi there,
I'm happy to present an evening of dance, theater and live music. Nimrod Freed, an international choreographer, brings together Mami Shimazaki, a wonderful Japanese creative dancer who has lived in Israel for many years and has danced as a soloist in the Batsheva Dance Company, with the musician Sharon Attar (drums, electric guitar). Their joint work creates a clash between different cultures and dance styles that creates an authentic harmonious movement language and an exciting stage experience - in a surprising dialogue between live music, dance, speech, and singing.

WHERE: Yaron Yerushalmi Hall, Suzanne Dellal Centre for Dance and Theatre
The show is composed of three works: 'CRASH', 'Tennis in the Sky with Isadora' and the work "Indecent Movement" by guest artist Hillel Kogan.
CRASH
We live in a world of conflicts - with ourselves, in our society and between cultures: the desire for love versus loneliness and helplessness. Roots and tradition clash with change and innovation. The work is inspired by: “Do you love me” Johnny Thunders & The Heart Breakers.

Tennis in the Sky with Isadora
The uncompromising struggle of the tennis player for victory as an image of our war for survival here and now. To attack, defend, lose and win - from the personal level to the political and the social. The authentic sound of the tennis court combined with soul music. Homage to Isadora Duncan - the pioneer of modern dance and the first dancer to perform barefoot.

Indecent movement
This work is a tribute to German dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch. Indecent movement was originally created for five dancers, and was first presented at a the 'Curtain-Up' festival in 2011. "The work marks the beginning of my interest in choreographic writing based on quotations and addressing the canon of Western artistic dance" Hillel Kogan.
