In Yossi Berg & Oded Graf's newest piece, four strong male dancers will take on Igor Stravinsky's iconic "The Rite of Spring," a ballet and orchestral work created during the pressing times of WWI. The world premiere dance performance will explore the ethos of sacrifice & worship, while also examining masculinity through a local, contemporary lens.
In this inspiring quartet of movement, the individual dancers project a variety of conflicting images onto the audience and each other as they bounce between sexual motives, violence, and their innermost urges in the attempts to assemble one collective memory.

Balanced with a softer, more compassionate side, the piece will move back and forth like a pendulum between past and future to investigate male identity, sexuality, and patriotism.
Come join Yossi, Oded, and their devoted dancers on an unusual journey of worship March 2 at Tmuna Theater, Tel Aviv.
