Batsheva Dance Company
Venezuela
Under the artistic direction of choreographer Ohad Naharin, Israel’s Batsheva Dance Company has built a global reputation for excellence. Employing Naharin’s movement language—known as “Gaga”—the company stands apart from other modern dance companies, offering a singular and arresting approach to choreography and individual movement. In its first Hancher appearance since 2006, Batsheva will perform Venezuela, a “work emblematic of Naharin’s curiosity and ongoing search for new challenges” (Haaretz).
Please note: This performance uses songs containing lyrics with adult language.
