What’s On Our Radar This Month

Performative Arts | “Three” by Ohad Naharin The Israeli Opera, Tel Aviv

Choreographer Ohad Naharin returns to “Three”, which he created for the Batsheva Dance Company in 2005. “Three” is a triptych comprised of three sections: Bellus, Humus, and Sekus. The tripartite theological structure suggests a return to a formal, exposed, everyday foundation of dance. Virtuosity is replaced by the simple movement, by rhythm, and unison, weaving the three sections into a delicate lacework of equilibriums between the empty spaces, silence, and pauses and the body, music, and movement. “Three” presents dance that is not afraid to be exposed and to expose, which does not apologize for its fragility, humanity, and excess. (The show contains nudity). May 9 th - 11 th , israel-opera.co.il

Cinema | “Theodor”, the opera Across Israel

To mark Israel’s 76 th Independence Day, a special cinema screening of the Israeli Opera’s opera production “Theodor”, will be taking place in movie theaters across Israel. “Theodor” takes the audience on a journey through the life of Theodor Herzl, from his days as a young student to his transformation into a trailblazing leader of the Zionist movement. This superb production is a riveting spectacle and a deep-dive into the most salient moments of Herzl’s life – his involvement in the fight against antisemitism, his complicated relationship with his wife Julie, and the challenges brought on by his vision of a Jewish State. The film will be distributed to various broadcasting bodies around the world. From May 9 th in all Hot Cinema Planet movie theaters, Cinema City theaters, Movieland, Lev, Cinematheques Tel Aviv and Haifa, and other cinematheques across the country
