Third Choice Vortex by Sagi Amir Gross Film & Dance performance in an intimate set up
October 2nd at 16:00
The performance will include film and live performance, directed by choreographer and filmmaker Sagí Amir Gross.
Third Choice - Vortex is a multidisciplinary creation that sits at the intersection of theater, dance and film and is inspired by a personal memory. A memory of a place that reflects a transition between levels of human experiences. The authenticity of an individual is presented and brought into focus. The creation explores the sub-themes of identity formation, gender, longing for belonging and connection to others, in relation to stereotypes in our society. The loneliness of an individual is also a theme, in addition to the distanced and systematic means of communication used by the media. Aspects are explored that represent the connection between the gestures of daily life and their physical-expressive motives, individualism and personal characteristic expressions.
