The Lior Tabory Dance Company presents the piece CRUST, which is divided into the political and personal worlds. The work combines forbidden pleasure, boundaries, and passion, with innovative and mesmerizing choreography. It will be performed in Israel before embarking on a tour in the United States and Canada.
For details and purchase: summer and winter, holidays and festivals. Not everyone will be taken into the future. A dance creation about Israel and the world, twenty-twenty-four. Meeting – gaze – detachment. Piercing eyes. Thick red smoke obscures vision. Forbidden pleasure appears. An invasion of territory whose boundaries are unclear. A sensitive microscope sharpens vision. Water patters on the body. Invasion. Forbidden pleasure.

Invasion | Boundaries | Passion | Pleasure | Smoke — not everyone will be taken into the future.
