    THU 12 OCT | Full £10 Conc £6 | 7.30pm | AGE 15 plus

    Niv Sheinfeld & Oren Laor by gadi dagonTwo Room Apartment brings Sheinfeld & Laor to the stage for a duet that reflects on their relationship as partners in life and as creators. Both personal and political, the work examines boundaries in various contexts: physical borders such as between territories or between two rooms, but also non-physical borders, such as the one between life and performance, and the boundaries that the individual sets for himself. The work uses a simple dance language and a minimalist aesthetic, and explores the notion of life as a framework in which a precise, almost compulsive repetition of customs and behaviours takes place.

    The work suggests a re-imagining of the original performance created by Liat Dror and Nir Ben Gal that premiered in 1987 in Tel-Aviv. It is considered a milestone in the development of independent Israeli choreography.

    Everything is open, accessible. Niv and Oren imbued the work with their intimate relationship and emotions, and the result is fascinating.
