new creation 2025
In HOT WALK, two women are engaged in a conversation while walking in a picturesque park. This dance-video performance is about heat. The women's exchange is about the connection of their bodies to the planet. It flows from aging and hot flashes, to the threat of extinction due to climate change. With a dryly comic and moving interplay of words, movements and gestures, the audience becomes part of a somewhat disruptive encounter.
HOT WALK approaches women's reproductive choices from an unexpected perspective by including the impact of heat on non-human & human bodies. Slowly, the line between reality and imagination blurs. Different stages of proximity and friction are gone through, highlighting our relationship with ourselves and with others around us in an unpredictable way.
In this performance, choreographer Keren Levi stages the tension between text and movement. The dialogue gradually falls apart and the interaction between walking, talking and gesturing is deconstructed.
