Over het werk
De werelden die Sharon Eyal & Gai Behar creëren op het podium zijn uniek, bedwelmend en intens meeslepend te noemen. je word uitgenodigd om in het universum van SAABA (2021) te stappen. Dit geliefde werk werd gecreëerd voor GöteborgsOperansDanskompani, maar NDT 2 presenteert het nu in een eigen, vernieuwde versie. SAABA ademt passie en kwetsbaarheid, en verleidt met hypnotiserende bewegingen, sferisch lichtontwerp en de onweerstaanbare groove van componist Ori Lichtik. Dit werk is een krachtig voorbeeld van Eyals geniale en eigenzinnige stem, waarmee ze klassiek ballet en hedendaagse dans samensmelt tot iets bovennatuurlijks.

Sophia Frilot over 'SAABA'
“SAABA by Sharon Eyal is an intense experience where brutality and elegance are at constant play. This work simultaneously demands strength, sensitivity, honesty, precision, and fantasy.
Each repetition becomes an entirely new experience. These hypnotic loops are never truly the same. Nothing remains stagnant. We are alive, breathing, and evolving down to the cellular level. In these imagined realms, our sensitivity intensifies. Sharon speaks through imagery, “Turnout from your brain, bleed from your ribcage, let your tears recycle, dance from your wings.”
Working with Sharon Eyal and Léo Lérus has been such a joy and honor. Their generosity flooded the space and created such a rich environment. The excitement was quite contagious from day one. Sharon managed to rearrange and reimagine this piece into something very unique to our group. SAABA is without a doubt one of my favorite pieces to perform.”
