Batsheva Dance Company (Israel)
Three

Mon 20 & Tue 21 October, 7.30pm
Sadler’s Wells

 

Batsheva Dance Company, one of the most inspirational and sought-after companies in the world, is well-known for its powerful combination of energy, speed and passion. The company returns to London with a week-long programme of performances starting at Sadler’s Wells, then continuing at Riverside Studios.

Three continues Artistic Director Ohad Naharin's ongoing fascination with the body and movement, using the company's astonishing physical style to full effect. The dancers contort and shimmy, strike improbable balances and move with fearsome velocity to a diverse soundtrack that ranges from Bach’s Goldberg Variations, to an ethereal score by Brian Eno and The Beach Boys’ unabashedly joyous song You’re Welcome.

Three is a bewitching display of choreographic extremes which has left audiences astounded wherever it has been seen.
