The Hole

Ohad Naharin is globally recognized as one of the most innovative dance makers of his generation for his captivating choreographic mastery and inventive vocabulary.

The Hole, originally created for Batsheva Dance Company, was never intended to be performed outside Tel Aviv: “When I created The Hole, I told my team they had to prepare for a work that would never tour, that would never leave our studio (where we performed it),” says Naharin. “It’s too productionally complicated, I thought.

NDT proved me wrong. They achieved what was impossible for us.” The work requires a complete transformation of the space, with a raised stage in the center, raised walls behind the audience, and even a metal grid suspended from the ceiling, from which dancers climb and hang. Naharin’s interplay of perspectives borders on the cinematic, utilizing all dimensions of the space.
