Into the Hairy

NDT 1

NDT and Sharon Eyal Dance S-E-D have joined forces for this expanded interpretation of Into the Hairy (2023). Originally created for 7 dancers, the piece now brings together two companies in an expanded cast of more than 20 dancers. Into the Hairy tests the limits of contemporary dance by connecting classical dance with the underground club culture. 

Extra tip: On June 7, Into the Hairy comes with a little extra. After the performance at Amare, stick around for NDT Club — an informal afterparty with music, drinks, an aftertalk and more, curated by the dancers of NDT.

About the programme

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.

Eyal, who is known for her unexpected endings, puts on a performance that continues to reverberate in the subconscious mind for some time.
