"Tsuk has a remarkable ability to conjure rich movement seemingly out of thin air."
Anat Zecharia,

In Destinies, Noa seeks to explore and engage with the fate of our ever-changing bodies. The encounter with the body at different stages in life illustrates our confrontation with fate, with limitation, with that which cannot be altered. By observing the unfolding destiny of the body over time, we can touch upon the dimension of time itself. Like the body, it is given to us as fate, and we engage in an ongoing, infinite spiritual dialogue with it.

The piece was first performed at the ‘Tel Aviv Dance’ festival back in august ‘25

Thank you to Naomi Perlov, Tamir Eting, Anat Fischer Leventon and the rest of the Suzanne Dellal staff.
