Gauthier Dance//Dance Company Theaterhaus Stuttgart

Gauthier Dance is once again set to rock the Theaterhaus gymnasium! As it did at the very first COLOURS Festival, the gym will this year provide the venue for a performance of Kamuyot, Ohad Naharin's ingeniously wacky celebration of dance. This carefree mix of styles ranging from ballet to disco is performed close up to the audience. Using a colorful sound collage that includes reggae, klezmer, heavy metal and classical music, the piece was originally created for the Israeli Ensemble Batsheva for young viewers, but quickly turned out to be a gateway for everyone who wants to get to know Naharin's work. Naharin is also the creator of Gaga: free rather than standardized movement, dancing as a way to experience yourself rather than to please others, dancing as play, research and self-knowledge. In tartans and punk outfits, the dancers jump easily from one style to the next – with this sassy, free energy of youth, “Kamuyot” is guaranteed to inspire even the most hesitant to engage with contemporary dance.
