See this award-winning documentary film about iconic Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin, former artistic director of Batsheva Dance Company (Tel Aviv) and creator of the movement practice known as “Gaga.”
An eight-year collaboration between Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin and filmmaker Tomer Heymann led to this exuberant feast for the senses. It illuminates the creative process of a bold artist known as a prickly taskmaster, charismatic genius, and icon of modern dance. Documentary Audience Award winner at the SXSW Film & Music Festival.
