Batsheva Dance Company at Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at the Los Angeles Music Center

The critically acclaimed Batsheva Dance Company presents a shared passion of deep sorrow and beauty in its newest evening length work MOMO, from master choreographer Ohad Naharin. In the company’s words, “MOMO has two souls. One sends long roots to the depths of the earth—a soul that embodies archetypes and myths of hardened, raw masculinity, and the other is in a constant search for an individual and distinct DNA; one moves within its own autonomous and independent force field, and the other is a constellation of elements that spin around the same nucleus—alternately drifting away and towards it, making room for necessary tenderness and catharsis.” The company performs this new work to a soundtrack from the iconic Laurie Anderson and Kronos Quartet’s work Landfall, with additional music by Philip Glass, Arca, and Maxim Waratt. Established in 1964 as a repertoire company, Batsheva Dance Company is one of the world’s most prominent and renowned dance troupes. The company stands at the forefront of the international dance world, thanks to the bold choreographic voice of Naharin and the uncompromising quality of the company’s dancers.
