Naharin revolutionised dance in Israel, turning Batsheva performances into cult events and capturing new young audiences at home and abroad. An explosion of colour, movement and music. Unforgettable performances by extraordinary dancers. Highly energized, daring and humorous dance from Israel's Batsheva Dance Company in a programme of works specially devised to showcase the dazzling breadth of choreographer Ohad Naharin's invention.
