New Work by Ohad Naharin

Choreographer Ohad Naharin, an unparalleled voice in contemporary dance, continues to reinvent himself. As an internationally renowned choreographer and good friend of NDT, Naharin spent recent years exploring how locations can transform the experience of dance. In the 2025-2026 season, he will share the results of his explorations in a site-specific work.

Over 30 years ago, Naharin started working with NDT, resulting in the creation of the critically acclaimed Minus 16 (1999) for NDT 2 and the performance of many of his much-loved works in the years that followed, including The Hole (2013) performed by NDT 1 in 2023. And now, we enter a new chapter with Naharin, one that underlines our deep, long-standing bond, and our shared commitment to dance that embraces a daring physicality and profound emotional depth.

In the groundbreaking new work for NDT 1, Naharin invites you to experience dance like never before. Instead of our regular theatre, the work is performed in a smaller, hidden space: our NDT Black Box. Once you enter, the performance will draw you in, erasing the distance between audience and artists. This immersive experience promises a closeness and immediacy that will be nothing short of extraordinary. Don’t miss it!
