Rec. #828: Echad Mi Yodea by Ohad Naharin performed by Batsheva





What: During the summer of 2018, I saw work by choreographer Ohad Naharin performed by Hubbard Street Dance in Chicago. (See Rec. #573.)

At the time, I described it as "exquisite and powerful and maybe even life-changing?" This particular piece, Echad Mi Yodea, is the one that's stuck with me the most. In this clip, it's performed by Naharin's own Batsheva Dance Company. Just wait until they start throwing shoes.

How to get it: You can watch the piece on YouTube, and you might be interested in Batsheva's YouTube channel in general. Or you might want to watch performances from other companies, such as the Opéra national de Paris.

Connection to previous Wreckage: More on DecaDance/Chicago is at Rec. 573.
