The\noriginal title of choreographer Ohad Naharin's \nDecadance, premiered in 2000, marked   the first decade of a massive body of dance\nworks that Naharin  had created  for Batsheva, since he returned to\nIsrael  in 1990 and took the position of the\ncompany's artistic director.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\ncelebrated creation introduced a work composed as a m\u00e9lange of scenes from previous\nworks by  Naharin, among them the\nrevolutionary Kyr, Anaphase(both on 1993) and Naharin's Virus  in 2001 along several sections from other\nfavorite creations of that era served as the building blocks of Decadance,  originally created for Batsheva Company. The\nodd one among the creation's selection is Zorn, a short piece that Naharin had\nmade for university students abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\ndecade and the ones which followed endowed Batsheva with international\nnotoriety and Naharin's reputation soared with it. Apparently, Naharin must\nhave decided that it is the right time to do a new version of Decadance, three\ndecades after he took the reign of Batsheva.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inevitably,\nafter three productive decades, Naharin had a lot of materials to pick from. He\nalso decided to hand the current Decadance#21 to Batsheva Ensemble, the second,\nyounger company. The young dancers are trained for the challenge. In fact they young\ndancers did very well and a few even attracted the eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 If one expected to see on the vast stage of\nthe Tel Aviv Performing Arts Center some of the favorite sections from the original\nversion of Decadance, or sections of some more outstanding works by Naharin in\nthe last decade and didn't, must realize that the chosen sections were mostly\nfrom dances without complicated sets and costumes for practical reasons.\nSeveral scenes retained their original structure, like "Ehad Mi\nYodeah"  set to famous Passover\nchant, while some scenes had gone through more intensive changes which often\ngave them a refreshing effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nrecent years the company took out of its archives selected older Naharin's works,\nrefurbished them and brought them back to the active company's  repertoire, thus giving them  new life, which turned to be a treat for\nBatsheva's  younger audiences and a treat\nto the avid followers.  Perhaps in a\ndecade or two we'll be lucky to see Decadance#3 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watching\nthe evening had a bit of a nostalgic flavor which is nice, yet it was followed\nby regret that this particular assemblage didn't present the true diversity of\nthe company's repertoire nor Naharin's full original and challenging artistic\nrange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
