Sacre

Creation for five dancers signed by the Israelian choreographer Emanuel Gat on the famous ballet music of Igor Stravinsky. He mixes with his usual geometric construction the Latin sensuality of salsa.

Mixing Stravinsky’s music with the lascivious loops of salsa, Emanuel Gat’s Sacre relecture has toured the world and helped to make the choreographer known.
At once nervous and sensual, his Sacre marries the meanderings of the amorous desire in swirling body-to-body. Sacre deconstructs the mechanisms of Cuban salsa and reassembles them to create a complex choreographic score, with a powerful dramaturgy. With the free and demanding reading of Stravinsky’s masterpiece, Sacre does not propose sacrifice but rather a multitude of options for action.
