Moby D
Avshalom Pollak Dance Threatre
Moby D. is a is a unique collaboration between Avshalom Pollak Dance Theater and the esteemed artists David Polonsky and Michael Faust. In their new work, they deal with the elusiveness of human language, as described by French philosopher Jacques Derrida: "Language is not perceived as an objective representation of reality, but as a collection of discrepancies that create a 'free play' of meaning. Language is built of layers of hidden meanings, some of which even the writer may not be aware of."
