Following their acclaimed collaboration in ZŌ, Ohad Naharin and musician Tai Rona reunite for an immersive evening that turns the space into a vibrant, pulsating arena where 40 dancers from both companies, a live DJ set, and the audience come together in a unique shared experience.

Session was created in 2011 for the Museum of Modern Art in Basel, Fondation Beyeler. It comprises materials from Ohad Naharin’s repertory, plucked from the original works where they were performed: from the lighting, the original composition, the costumes and the constellation of viewing dance on stage. They are performed spontaneously and independently by the Batsheva Dance Company dancers. The living body, with all the knowledge absorbed in it, is featured as a ready-made and charged with new contexts.

This act of attuning remembering bodies holds the inherent failure of the movement’s attempt to replicate itself. Out of this attempt, the physical medium emerges as an arena of infinite singularity, which in turn, produces singular beauty.
