Keren Levi – HOT WALK

In the organizer's words:

Two women talk during a walk in a picturesque park. Their exchange revolves around the connection between their bodies and the state of our planet. It ranges from ageing and hot flushes to the extinction of species due to climate change. The dryly funny yet moving interplay of words, movements and gestures allows the audience to participate in an abstract encounter. The dance-video performance HOT WALK approaches women's reproductive choices from an unexpected perspective by incorporating the effects of heat on non-human and human bodies. Slowly, the line between reality and imagination blurs. Different stages of proximity and friction are traversed, illuminating our relationship with ourselves and others around us in surprising ways. Choreographer Keren Levi plays with the tension between text and movement. The dialog gradually dissolves and the interaction between walking, speaking and gestures is deconstructed.
