DUO - A Global Premiere by Amir Kolben and Noa Zuk Kolben

Dance Company proudly presents DUO, a profound choreographic event featuring two new works by leading contemporary dance creators Amir Kolben and Noa Zuk. This special evening offers audiences a deep dive into our perceptions of reality and human experience.

Edi, by Amir Kolben, the company’s artistic director, challenges us to examine how we perceive and interact with the world. Through expressive choreography, it confronts our societal and personal blind spots, cautioning against the dangers of unexamined lives.

Casting by Noa Zuk delves into the intricate dynamics between form and emotion. It combines a philosophical choreographic approach with a dialogue between body and soul. Zuk's piece explores themes of desire, passion, and the interplay between physical movements and rhythmic sounds, creating a visible energy that transcends traditional auditory experiences.

The DUO evening is an invitation to reevaluate and deepen our understanding of familiar perspectives, encouraging a bold reengagement with the ways we comprehend the world around us.
