Eyal Dadon Dance Company | PATROL

For details and tickets: “PATROL | By Eyal Dadon”

“Dadon proves himself a master of composing a unique movement language with a distinctive quality—the charcoal sketches of Degas coming to life onstage.”
— Ran Brown, Haaretz

“PATROL creates a fantastical, superhuman, physical, mysterious and breathtaking world.”
— Eden Kramer

Running time: 50 minutes

The performance begins in an empty corridor. Everything is white. You started walking. Still in the corridor. You kept walking. The smell changes. You continued. The light fades. The walls crack. You started running. You looked back. The beginning is far away. You reached mud. You sprinted. The floor is the ceiling. The walls collapse. You are a horse.

At the heart of the work is the image of a horse standing guard—noble, steady and alert. The body scans, focused on searching and hoping not to find.
