Director Tomer Heymann mixes intimate rehearsal footage with an extensive unseen archive and breathtaking dance sequences. Filmed over an eight-year period, this story of an artistic genius who redefined the language of modern dance is guaranteed to leave you skipping.
FROM THE PRESS
“The most exciting documentary for fans of edgier modern dance
since “Pina.”— Variety
" If you know nothing of dance, or don’t have the slightest interest in it, you will still be mystified by what is on screen.
The Batsheva dancers move in ways you might not even imagine the body could move... Tomer Heymann perfectly melds the performances into the story."— HEEB Magazine
