The dance of nothing
This is a love story, or rather a story about love, a forbidden love between a Palestinian woman and an Israeli man, from similar backgrounds and with the same skin colour, two beings who are victims of everyone’s hostility.
Liat Dror and Nir Ben Gal, as key figures in Israeli choreography, raise issues in all their pieces that are essential to their homeland, their lives. The Dance of Nothing brings together six Israeli dancers and four Arab musicians on stage. This is a love story, or rather a story about love, a forbidden love between a Palestinian woman and an Israeli man, from similar backgrounds and with the same skin colour, two beings who are victims of everyone’s hostility. The two choreographers set out the dance in their own kinetic language, typical and full of tensions. In this interplay that is sometimes violent, sometimes delicate, masculine and feminine energies confront each other. But soon these are not alone in binding the lovers to each other. Very rapidly, the current divides into ever-widening circles: family, friends, church, state, which encroach upon each other. In spite of all the problems, this is a celebration, and bread is kneaded and cooked on stage to share with the audience.
