OHAD NAHARIN
“Its immediate visceral and kinetic impact mostly makes you
want to jump onstage and dance,” proclaimed The New York Times
about the original Decadance, created in 2000 by Batsheva Dance
Company’s acclaimed artistic director Ohad Naharin. Hailed by
Mikhail Baryshnikov as “the best dancers in the world”, the Batsheva
dancers perform an ever-changing Decadance in which, once again,
Naharin combines excerpts from previous works into a seventy
minute evening set to music ranging from the Beach Boys to Vivaldi.

Z/na (1995), Anaphase (1993), Mabul 1992), Naharin’s Virus
