Two women live in the same apartment building in Tel Aviv, each with her work, her daily routine, and her dreams. One is a dancer and choreographer, the other is, as they say, a working woman. Neighbors \u2013 two lives separated by a wall. This is the starting point for choreographer Ronit Ziv\u2019s new work, With Subtitles, which will premiere Thursday, January 27, 2011 in the Yaron Yerushalmi Hall at Suzanne Dellal.<\/p>\n

Ziv has spent several months working on With Subtitles, saying that she felt she needed time to find her perspective on the work because she was creating a dance from materials that came from her own life. \u201cI live in an old apartment building from the 50s,\u201d said Ziv, \u201cthere is a synagogue across the street and all sorts of neighbors; one is a call girl. You can\u2019t tell by looking at her, but men come and go at all hours. It\u2019s strange. Once someone knocked at my door, and I called out: \u2018It\u2019s not here\u2019. How can I express this in dance?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI began with a realistic approach. But when I looked at what I had I felt: this isn\u2019t the whore I\u2019m looking for. It\u2019s not a documentary film. It\u2019s dance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The short preview seen today reveals a work that is both abstract and theatrical, with two female dancers, Tamar Gross and Sophie Krantz, a male actor, Benny Eldar, and one of the ubiquitous Israeli \u201ctrisim\u201d \u2013 the plastic shutters that adorn every available window in the country. A multi-faceted \u201creality\u201d is presented onstage. The narrative of \u201crehearsing\u201d for the performance becomes part of the performance itself, which narrates the different realities of the two women, exploring and questioning the similarities and differences.<\/p>\n

Ziv is a sharp observer of the human condition, with a sense of humor and an ear for dialogue. Many of her previous works have involved text and dialogue \u2013 With Subtitles includes both spoken dialogue and text projected on the shutters.<\/p>\n
