「MAKOM」在希伯來文中是”地方”的意思,是一齣由藝術總監兼編舞家Noa
Wertheim製作,描述人們追求歸屬感與自我發現,整合混亂,撫慰心靈的舞台劇,以迷人的舞步編排,感人的故事述說,促使人們更接近自己內心的舞蹈表演。
Wertheim說,這作品探討中心與極端,形式與內容之間的緊張關係,反映了人類經驗的複雜性。

IN “MAKOM,” VERTIGO
DANCE COMPANY SEEKS
EQUILIBRIUM IN A WORLD
OUT OF BALANCE
Performances
April 5 & 6 at 8 pm / The Shubert Theatre, Boston / Performance photos here.
Boston, MA — Updated March 6, 2024* — Renowned
Jerusalem-based contemporary troupe Vertigo Dance Company returns to Boston
with their 2022 production "MAKOM," an evening-length work by
Artistic Director and choreographer Noa Wertheim. Performances are April 5 and
6, 2024 at the Boch Center Shubert Theatre.
"MAKOM," whose title is derived from the Hebrew
word meaning place, delves into the human quest for belonging and
self-discovery. With mesmerizing choreography and emotive storytelling,
Wertheim's work invites audiences on a profound journey of finding unity amidst
chaos, and solace within oneself.
"This piece is a perpetual search for a return to the
place that brings us closer to ourselves," Wertheim says. "It
explores the tension between the center and the extremities, and between form
and content, mirroring the complexities of the human experience."
With neutral-hued costumes, minimal lighting, an
alternately rhythmic and emotional score, and branch-like props that create
platforms, ladders and more, Dani Fishof-Magenta's lighting design, Sasson
Kedem's costume design, and Zohar Shoef's stage design create a visually
stunning and immersive experience.
Co-choreographed by Rina Wertheim-Koren and featuring
dancers Etai Peri, Sian Olles, Eden Ben Shimol, Micah Aimos, Ruth Ben David,
Ilan Kolubovich, Shani Licht, Noa Israeli, and Theo Samsworth,
"MAKOM" also features original music by Ran Bagno.
“We are looking forward to the return
of the Vertigo Dance Company, which first performed in Boston in 2016 and
impressed Boston audiences,” says Gary Dunning, President and Executive
Director of Celebrity Series Boston, which secured the Company’s return
engagement in early 2023. “Vertigo and Noa have been bold in pushing the
boundaries of contemporary dance and exploring timeless questions about finding
one’s balance and strength from within. I am confident this production will
resonate deeply here.”
