Sharon Eyal & Gai Behar: Wet | BTS

An internationally-renowned choreographer, Sharon Eyal trained in classical ballet and was a longtime member of the famed Batsheva Dance Company under Ohad Naharin. Her unmistakable style merges ballet and electronic music, to balance vigorous physicality with striking delicacy.

For fans of 'This Is Not A Love Show', the performance repertoire by Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar, that we presented last winter LAS has a throwback in store: During their LAS residency, Eyal and Behar developed the new cross-disciplinary performance. Titled 'Wet', it features their dance company L-E-V, in dialogue with the architectural setting of Kraftwerk, a cavernous former East Berlin power plant.

Engrossing audiences with emotion, movement, and rhythm, 'Wet' reflects Eyal’s experience-oriented vision: "The most important thing is to work with people we love and who love what we do."

For those who’ve been curious about Sharon Eyal's artistic process, take a look at this illuminating 'Wet' BTS by De-Da Productions.
