Dance | Makom, A Vertigo Dance Company World Premiere Across Israel Choreographer Noa Wertheim’s new piece Makom engages in spirituality, existentialism, and the interaction between our inner world and the life around us. Wertheim transforms movement into inspiration, as part of what she describes as “our perpetual quest for the place that engages us with ourselves”. Makom is a reflection on the ephemeral nature of our physical existence and the contradictions and paradoxes of our lives. Music is by Ran Bagno, and costumes and styling, by Sasson Kedem.
