Fuga
Inbal Pinto
Fuga is a collaborative work between choreographer Inbal Pinto and Israeli musician Maya Belsitzman, which deals with the reconstruction of old lives, past events, extinct worlds, and lost characters. The void left by these, filled by fragments of thoughts and circles of resonance, rekindling for a limited time, experiences that has forgotten but not erased.

Icetree
Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak
The new creation by Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak is a fascinating exploration of the archaeological strata of their joint work. Together, they return to familiar landscapes, like re-reading an old letter, sent from another time, which spread over an entirely different present and being, and reinvent itself.

Slug
Avshalom Pollak
Time is an elusive concept, an abstraction, perhaps even an illusion – yet it touches every aspect of our being. The piece deals with time as a concept, raises intriguing questions that coalesce into a striking and arresting work. Created with the participation of the Inbal Pinto Avshalom Pollak Dance Company dancers, Slug is a densely textured work with vibrant physicality, merging dance with song and spoken word.

Oyster
Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak
Magical – mysterious full-evening work. Combining the dreamlike qualities of Fellini and the keen intellect of Pina Bausch, Inbal and Avshalom have created a fantastic circus-world of wandering street acrobats and oddly beautiful creatures. Performers and dancers in doll-like make-up, spiky blonde wigs, and tutus alternately become puppets or puppeteers – in one delightful scene, a girl in a bouffant dress becomes a ringing bell. The eclectic score spans opera (Pagliacci), tango (Piazzolla), Harry James Yma Sumac and Tuvan throat singers. Pinto’s unique movement encompasses ballet, contemporary, mime and acrobatics.

Dust
Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak
Stories from a magical and chaotic world are being born, dissolved, and transformed. Dust is a finely-ground substance that cannot be defined ; it takes and loses form, it swirls, it rises to the air, it drops down to the ground and swirls again. Like dust, we all can lose our way, dissolve, connect and break apart, find each other and separate once more. Worlds that are created as dreams crash like rocks.

Wrapped
Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak
The pleasure of a gift – whether in giving or receiving – is as much in the concept of a gift as in the object itself. Think ‘gift’ and close your eyes. For many of us, this concept comes with a very specific image: a beautifully wrapped box, tied up with ribbon. Put a wrapped gift in front of anyone, and if only for a moment, the person becomes a child once more, full of wonder. The joy and delight of anticipation, contemplation and the eventual unwrapping – either carefully, or with reckless abandon – this is the giddy whirl of feelings set in motion by Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak’s Wrapped.
