1996

Artistic Director: Amos Hetz
Producer: Daphna Efron
Lighting: Sivan Berlin

Following Lisa Nelson’s project from the previous year, we initiated the collective dance Vexations. This was a dance marathon – 10 hours of non-stop dance – with music by Erik Satie played live (pianists changing every 30 minutes). It was an attempt to bring together, on stage,multiple dancers, styles and forms of expression. Each dancer created on his or her own, but dancing with different dancers they created a chance-operated choreography.
