Covariance
Recorded at the Centre national de la danse 8 November 2012
“Covariance” examines the complexity of relationships, accompanied by the music of Chopin’s waltzes. This duet created by Niv Sheinfeld and Sivan Gutholtz takes a malicious pleasure in destroying any romantic notions associated with the image of the couple, the composer or even dance itself.
Both are well-known artistic figures in Israel, one a dancer and choreographer, the other an actor and director. Since 2004, Niv Sheinfeld and Oren Laor have been creating shows where their respective worlds connect in a fruitful dialogue. Their work has won over audiences around the world. In this work, they explore the ambivalence of a society at war, where feelings are experienced as asides and where the individual is never either completely free or completely alone.
