A personal creation for the iconic Israeli dancer Talia Paz. Choreographed by Michael Getman.
The dance movements are part of Talia Paz's personal movement materials, which she embodied and performed throughout the last 20 years. Various forms of expression stretched from Ohad Naharin to Matz Ek's significant style, from Stijn Celis to Sharon Eyal's extreme body language, are being re-visited and examined. Deconstructing the text of the famous tune from the chorus line 'Let Me Dance For You 'into fragments of words and breath allows Talia to reformulate her artistic presence and skills. Straddling the line between personal physicality to spoken text and the uncertain relations evolving on stage between these triggers Talia Paz to challenge her current physical and emotional state.
A paradoxical landscape is created, shifting tragic to comic, the said and done, and between the body's desire to master the craft and lose power and form.
This performance is dedicated to Nira Paz (1935-2021).
