The Toxic Exotic Disappearance Act
Premiere: December 30 at The Suzanne Dellal Center, Tel-Aviv.
Yasmeen Godder, invited by Ohad Naharin to create for Batsheva, takes inspiration for this work from "Flamboya" - a book by photographer and designer Viviane Sassen. Godder created a piece in which screening, hiding, shadowing and disappearance allow the identity to expose, present and stay loyal to itself while creating a world which plays between limitation and fantasy.
