“Leaves children and adults with a delightful artistic visual experience”
Maya Nahum Shachal, Calcalist, December 2012

“Naharin is well aware that children are creatures with their own nature and essence… and he rewards them with a wealth of beauty… and simply makes them feel like dancing”
Anat Zecharia, September 2013

Deca’le is a show for all ages that celebrates the rich repertoire of Ohad Naharin and Batsheva Dance Company, and is based on Naharin’s DecaDance. The audience is invited to step into the company’s playground and get to know iconic moments from Naharin’s works.

A unique and thrilling experience that awakens the senses, expands the heart, and moves the body. For grownups and little ones alike.
