tamara_russoI haven't written about the dance show last night, have I?
Well, it was incredible. four pieces, the first was "Magnolia" with Talia Paz (I've seen that before), the second was with English dancers, the third Talia Paz again and the forth with a Japanese dancer (choreographed by a dutch choreographer).
Magnolia was amazing, like the first time I saw it. If there is some sort of dance-interpretation for life, this is it. Name the emotion, it's there, with all of life's little screw-ups. And Talia Paz... Would someone clone this woman, please? She's un-fucking-believable. Such a virtuous dancer I've never seen in my life, the way she moved her body, it's like she can control every last muscle and bone separately.
The second part was wonderful - two dancers, a man and a woman dancing to the sound of instructions on how to assemble the complete - saying, the combination of the two, and how to use each separately. The narrative (with no music but with great pace and intonation) was quite hilarious most of the time, and the dancers dance their parts as, well, parts is done to perfection. Quite "normal" modern dancing, but excellently performed.
The third part was my least favorite - Talia Paz again, but in a different piece by another choreographer. It was less to my taste and by that point I was really tired, and my eyes shut more than once.
The forth part was more modern ballet than anything else with Johnny Cash music, which fitted it beautifully. It was, again, quite "normal" modern dancing, but, again, done extremely well by a very able dancer, and not just able - expressive enough for this role.
The entire thing wasn't long - I was home at 23:30 (the show started at 22:00 and it was about 20 minutes driving to get me home) with a bunch of leaflets for the next month's worth of shows in Suzanne Dallal Center. Good time.
