The Vertigo Dance Company, now celebrating their 20th anniversary, has enjoyed a creative dialogue with and about the environment for many years, founding the Vertigo Eco-Arts Village at Kibbutz Netiv HaLamed-Heh. The Birth of the Phoenix is perhaps one of the most direct expressions of this dialogue. In this work, choreographer and Vertigo Artistic Director Noa Wertheim dares to take dance to an intimate encounter with nature and community. The dancers perform in a circle of earth within a bamboo geodesic dome, bringing the audience close to the dance, sitting on the ground in a circle, almost close enough to touch.

Experience the celebration that is the Birth of the Phoenix in all its joy, solemnity, and physical energy!
