New Earth + Bolero X

As we stand on the brink of a new beginning, what does it mean to inhabit this transformed space? In the dance between the familiar and the unknown, with New Earth we explore the essence of existence and the vibrant pulse of life around us. Imagine a world where boundaries dissolve, and every movement is a reflection of our innate connection to the earth. Here, we delve into the sensations that awaken us, the rhythms that inspire us, and the energy that flows through all living things. In this exploration, we invite you to embrace the possibilities that lie ahead. How do we shape our realities and redefine our relationships with one another and the world? Let us celebrate the beauty of renewal and the power of movement as we embark on this journey together.

Bolero X is a pure celebration of the power of dance. Fifty performers on stage seek to express the great natural forces of which we are made. The force that separates us as unique individuals as well as unites us together as a group. In this new take on Maurice Ravel's iconic music, Shahar Binyamini continues to explore the power of repetition ...and the new meanings that emerge from the connection between the music written in 1928 and the choreography performed today.

Shahar Binyamini's company is made up of excellent dancers, mainly from Israel, who have dedicated themselves entirely to his movement language. The company is based at the House of Dance near Tel Aviv - an important dance institution in Israel that specializes in promoting the art of dance and supporting choreographers. It offers a platform for innovative artistic projects and supports both up-and-coming and established choreographers. For Binyamini, the House of Dance is a valuable partner that makes his experimental works such as New Earth possible. The collaboration allows him to unite dance, light, music and space in new creative forms and to make his work known both nationally and internationally. Thanks to the unique cooperation with the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), it is possible to present the monumental work Bolero X in its full size.
