Deca’le is an exuberant mash-up of selections from Ohad Naharin’s choreography, edited to suit all ages. I’ve seen, and enjoyed it many times (the young companions by my side super enthusiastic as well) – each edition is composed from a different selection of works. The works are performed by the Batsheva Young Ensemble, famous for their outrageous talents and phenomenal energy. Deca’le is set on the Ensemble and always acquires new colors in rehearsal, reflecting the individuality of the dancers, as well as the uniquely textured and detailed explosion of creativity that is Ohad Naharin’s choreography.
This edition of Deca’le is scheduled to include selections from: Max (2007), Seder (2007), George and Zalman (2006), Three (2005), Zachacha (1998), Anaphaza (1993), Mabul (1992), and Kyr (1990). Duration is 55 minutes, and the show is considered appropriate for ages 8 and up. Tickets are 100 – 110 NIS/90 NIS balcony, and may be ordered via the Batsheva Dance Company website, or call: 03-5171471, ext. 115.

Wednesday, October 19th at 16:00 and 18:00
