For this expanded interpretation of Into the Hairy (2023), NDT and Sharon Eyal Dance S-E-D have joined forces. Originally created for 7 dancers, this collaboration unites two companies in an extended cast of more than 20 dancers to investigate a new perspective on the unique universe of the work. Together with co-creator Gai Behar and an original score by artist and composer Koreless, Eyal has created an evocative, unsettling, and dystopian journey.
Into the Hairy is a powerful, idiosyncratic work about the strength in vulnerability. The language of movement is hypnotizing, rhythmic, and elusive, the culmination of improvised moves caught and harnessed in a highly sensory and virtuosic form. Clad in bodysuits that highlight every move and muscle, the dancers exude a detached, otherworldly air and leave the audience entranced. Into the Hairy tests the limits of contemporary dance by connecting classical dance with the underground club culture.
Highlights from audience reactions and reviews
“Once again beautifully dirty and gentle” ★★★★ – NRC
“The quadrupling of Into the Hairy turns out even more spectacularly. Breathtaking are the moments when the performers burst out from a compact sculpture of body parts and scatter across the entire stage, only to just as abruptly merge back into the crowd.” – Theaterkrant, “Critic’s Choice”
“She tours all over the world with compelling, restrained group choreography in which the bodies are constantly held in tension. The music may sound seductive, like pulsating club dance, and the group may seem to breathe to that beat with swaying hips, but the dancers never let themselves go. From beginning to end, something is simmering in the world they conjure.” – Het Parool
AWARD-WINNING
The full cast won the Swan for the most impressive dance performance for their “mind-bending collective achievement” and for “pushing the definition of teamwork toward an almost telepathic form of co-existence.”
