Dance Performance | 3 Dance Debuts: Navaridas + Deutinger / Ferenc Fehér / Niv Sheinfeld + Oren Laor


An evening of politically challenging dance by internationally acclaimed dance-makers, each making their New York City debut. Selected as “Priority Artists” by Aerowaves, the European cross-border dance network, Austria’s Navaridas+Deutinger and Hungary’s Ferenc Fehér make their American debuts in this evening of two theatrically enthralling works. Fehér’s Stix 66 is an ultimatum to simplicity. With his incredible virtuosity, acrobatic abilities, and physical strength, his solo is a captivating exploration of nothingness. Chosen as Best Performance of the Year by the Israeli Dance Critics' Circle for 2013, Two Room Apartment brings Niv Sheinfeld & Oren Laor to the stage for a duet that reflects on their relationship as partners in life and as creators.
