Echoes
Echoes resonates in Domy Reiter Soffer's work for the Bat Dor Dance Company presented at the Noga Theatre.
The whole work was a stunning comment on our times. Nothing could have been so tragically apt yet eventually so strongly bracing as this flow of images.
Hedim "Echoes" summed up a lifetime of searing reflections. Domy Reiter Soffer is renowned as a choreographer, painter and musician, and this work was no surprise. He has helpers of course: composers, Beni Nagari, Amos Elkana and most conspicuously percussionist Chen Zimbalista, who overdid the clash and smash, as though at times trying to break the sound barrier.
There was one scene where the dancers threw red lumps at a screened figure. Yet the ending was heroic and triumphant. The basic message was: we will overcome. But what made this performance special was the way the dancers brought it to life, and the visually exciting scenes that kept on changing from one historic part to the other seamlessly. A work that carves a deep impression in one's emotions and senses.
