Emanuel Gat Dance — Winter Variations
UK PREMIERE
Winter Variations is the latest work from Israeli choreographer Emanuel Gat. This stunning new piece represents the continuation of themes explored in previous work Winter Voyage, which Gat presented at Sadler's Wells in 2008.
- "Gat is a major talent. This unabashedly intimate pas de deux proved a breathtakingly emotional journey. The audience responded with nothing less than a collective sigh at the fragility, beauty and, finally, the resilience of life"
- LOS ANGELES TIMES
Set to a soundtrack ranging from Gustav Mahler to Riyad Al-Sunbati, Winter Variations is an intimate duet performed on a vast stage. Gat uses the scale to intensify the actions, relations and intentions of the choreography, allowing the space to become almost a third character in itself.
Co-created and performed with regular collaborator Roy Assaf, with whom Gat shares a rare physical telepathy, moments of dance from Winter Voyage are developed into full chapters of complex choreography and elaborated sequences of human drama.
