Delay the Sadness – Sharon Eyal Dance

Sharon Eyal ranks among the absolute elite of contemporary choreographers; like Hofesh Shechter, she hails from the legendary Batsheva Dance Company. In 2025, she triumphed at the Düsseldorf Festival with her acclaimed production “Soul Chain” for tanzmainz. Now she returns with her current outstanding production “Delay the Sadness” for her own company, S-E-D (Sharon Eyal Dance), which premiered at the last Ruhrtriennale and was frenetically celebrated. Eight dancers each develop their own unique energy and expressiveness; classical ballet figures flash by only to be immediately deconstructed, as music, emotions, and bodies merge. For Sharon Eyal, dance is far more than just movement—it is life itself.
