“Wrath” By choreographer Tamir Ginz is a work that touches on the various faces of violence that excites our lives and the forces that drive the occurrence between reality and hallucination.
Tamir GinzThe band’s artistic director, created “Rage”, to the sounds of original music by Avi Ballali (“Revenge of the Tractor”). The two continue their fruitful collaboration, following their previous success with the works “In the Desert of Things”, “Unknown” and “Menmozin”.
Tamir finished work on the work in early 2020, just before the Corona crisis and now with its rise to the stage – the hallucination shakes reality.
Ginz says that the idea for the work stemmed from a feeling of helplessness that arose in him in the face of the feeling that the company had come down from its assets.
“I have a feeling that everything is crumbling and all the values I grew up on have disappeared and are being replaced by violence,” says Ginz. “It was in this place that a scream was born in my stomach that gave birth to the work.
