Mahol BaRuach (Dance in the Spirit), a joint project of the Lab (HaMa\u2019abada) Theatre, Beit Avi Chai and the Choreographer\u2019s Society, will take place at the Lab Theatre on October 27 & 28, 2010.<\/p>\n

Connecting body to spirit, prayer to movement, tradition to modernity, the participating choreographers explore different aspects of prayer, movement and the relationship between the two.
\nEach evening\u2019s program will include three works, each no longer than 20 minutes, each with its own style, approach and concept.<\/p>\n

The program notes:<\/p>\n

Nimrod Freed: \u201cElohim Ishmor\u201d
\nA lone man and his attempt to vanquish fear. Performers: Itzik Gabai, Elinor Chertok. Piano: Alexei Poliansky<\/p>\n

Noa Dar: \u201cHaDomem VeHamehakeh\u201d
\nText: Shaul Tchernichovsky. Original music: Tuvia Shlonsky. Arrangement and new music: Arik Shapira. Singer: Rena Khoury. Violin: Yousuf Makhoul. Translation to Arabic: Ranen Masrawa.
\n\u201cAni Ma\u2019Amin\u201d Tchernichovsky\u2019s canonic poem, written in the first part of the 20th century in Odessa, is concerned with the poet\u2019s belief in man\u2019s ability to create a socially just world with empathy for one\u2019s fellow beings, expressing hope for national renewal and peace between nations. The poem became an anthem for the Socialist-Zionist movement. The contemporary validity of the poem is tested through its translation to Arabic and the staging of the speaker as an Arab. The dance is performed as a lullaby, transmitting hope, dreams, warnings, and instructions for future generations.<\/p>\n

Smadar Imor: \u201cSod HaYichud\u201d
\nChoreography and direction: Smadar Imor. Dance: Ensemble Renaissance. Music: Reli Margalit.
\nThe prayer \u201cShma Israel\u201d is the moment of connection between God and the Shekhina.

An original vocal and instrumental work created for dancers and voice artists.<\/p>\n

\nThree women are carried away through religious ritual to a world of passionate ritual. The pray to God to purify them of the evil within and keep their thoughts pure, but a male figure succeeds in leading them on the path of temptation.<\/p>\n

Tami and Ronen Izhaki: \u201cRoad No. 1\u201d
\nDance: Ensemble Ka\u2019et
\nWhat do revelers at a party and people praying in a synagogue have in common? What is the relationship between dangerous moves and those that are canonic and controlled? Where is the border between them?<\/p>\n
