The Work

Reflections, is deeply rooted in the artist’s will to create within personal and moral realms. The work focuses on myths and symbols from the Renaissance era in art, the idea of devotion, and the perception that their beauty carries a humanistic value. Performing moments of ritual and intimate body encounters that echo the presence of grand narratives from the past, evoking thoughts about the contemporary passage toward the disappearance of deep-rooted aesthetic principles and our cultural future in their absence. Reflections hold a mirror before the history of art to contemplate morality and pursue the encounter between ethics and aesthetics.

The performance includes full nudity

The Artist

After making his name as a dancer and choreographer in Israel, he gained international recognition. Rooted in conveying moral ideas, his works seek to reveal the essence and intimate expression. It is a performative state developed since his debut creation, What Really Makes Me Mad, for which he was awarded first prize at the 2013 “Shades in Dance”  competition. In 2022, Adi Boutrous received The Israeli Ministry of Culture and Sports Award for Creation in Dance for his body of works.
