CONCRETE #2
Sderot
Sderot
The second installment of Concrete takes place in Sderot, a city bordering with the Gaza strip that in the last 10 years has suffered hundreds of rocket attacks. I was invited to create a piece for Adama Movement Center’s festival and took this opportunity to work outdoors. This proved to be a challenge since a few rehearsals were cancelled due to rocket threats including one stressful evacuation in the middle of rehearsal.
The piece consists of 7 short dance pieces inspired by alternative subcultures like parkour, punk rock, skateboarding and graffiti. Many of the structures used were built in as a protection for rockets and for a brief moment they are given a joyful and aesthetic role.
