Yossi Berg and Oded Graf Dance Theater
When Love Walked In

The gap between how love is presented in culture and how it is experienced by individuals is the basis and inspiration for Berg and Graf’s dance-musical performance. The work is constructed as a series of short stories connected by a body searching for intimacy. Three people oscillate between personal nostalgia and collective memory; they sing and dance to fill the gap between their inner world and the world outside. The past wanders around the space like a ghost, putting on and taking off the shape of songs that haunt you and of bodies whose tangible memory has been imprinted on you. Yossi and Oded explore the performer/audience relationship and what it means to be human – to love, get excited, fail, dream, long for something, belong, and be estranged. They like to surface that which is evasive, undefined, and whose edges only art can touch. The show is modular and adapts to changing spaces, stages, museums, galleries, studios, and other sites.
