Sadeh21 at Stadttheater Fürth: Batsheva Dance Company showcases great dance art

An evening full of tension, physical strength, and emotional precision

With Sadeh21, the Batsheva Dance Company brings one of Ohad Naharin's most famous works to Fürth. The piece unfolds as an intense stage experience of movement, relationship, and counter-movement: closeness tips into distance, harmony into confrontation, calm into eruptive energy. The production is considered one of the most distinctive works of the ensemble and is internationally appreciated for its choreographic power and the radical clarity of body language.

The dramaturgy of the 21 fields

The title refers to 21 fields as an image for different emotional and physical states. Naharin continuously reorganizes the dancers, allowing groups to form, dissolve, and create friction. This creates a dense dramaturgy, where social tensions are not narrated but become physically perceptible. The gaze does not follow a linear plot but a series of state images that unfold with great precision in space.

Gaga as a source of movement

The special energy of the evening is drawn from Naharin's Gaga language space. The dancers work with a quality of movement that grows from sensitivity, strength, impulse, and imagination. Flowing sequences meet sharply defined, eruptive moments. This is precisely where the fascination of this production lies: it presents contemporary dance as a lively exploration of the human body.

A work with international echo

Since its premiere in 2011 in Jerusalem, Sadeh21 has received extraordinary resonance. Official and critical voices describe the work as hypnotic, disturbingly beautiful, and of great emotional impact. The Guardian's review highlighted the strong imagery and physical intensity; the Batsheva website calls the piece one of the most discussed works in the repertoire.
