choreographies
“INSIGHT”
Choreographed & performed by Inbar Elkayam
Premiered in June 2024 in Zürich
“INSIGHT” is an exploration of the intricate relationship between perception and reality. Through a captivating blend of movement, gesture, and visual imagery, the piece delves into the complexities of human experience, challenging the boundaries between the seen and unseen, the familiar and the unknown.
Rooted in contemporary dance, INSIGHT unfolds as a journey of transformation, where each gesture tells a story, and each movement reveals a hidden layer of meaning. As the performers navigate this journey, the audience is invited to question their own perspectives, shedding light on the elusive nature of truth and understanding.
“REBIRTH(ST)ING”
Choreographed & performed by Inbar Elkayam
Premiered in 2021 at Kibbutz Gaaton, Israel
“Rebirth(st)ing” is an exploration of self through the medium of vibration, delving into the depths of the soul. This performance is a journey towards shedding layers of identity, aiming to uncover a purer truth. The inspiration for this solo stemmed from an in-depth study of Solfeggio frequencies, a series of seven powerful tones that resonate with and elevate our chakras.
“Rebirth(st)ing” marks a significant leap in Inbar Elkayam’s artistic journey. The production has been met with acclaim from diverse audiences, reflecting its profound impact and artistic merit. The solo’s improvisational nature allows it to remain fresh and adaptable, changing subtly with each performance. In its most recent rendition, the piece was performed at the Trittli Gasse gallery in Zurich, in collaboration with Britt Edelman during her “Chairs and Sea” exhibition.
“FADE IN”
Premiered in 2018 at Haarlem, Netherlands
Drawing inspiration from the vibrant and complex world of nightclubs, “Fade In” delves into the realms of social behavior and human interactions. The piece reflects on the multifaceted identities we adopt in different social settings – as individuals, within a peer group, and as part of a larger community.
“DO YOU REMEMBER?”
Premiered in 2017 at Rishon-Lezion, Israel
This emotionally charged piece features performers Inbar Elkayam, David Satni, Nofar Gal, and Ayelet Avreham. The narrative centers around an elderly woman grappling with Alzheimer’s, portrayed through interactions with past versions of herself. This touching performance explores the impact of memory loss on relationships, oscillating between humor, sadness, and empathy. Inspired by changes in her grandmother’s health, Inbar uses this production to explore challenging themes with a mix of movement and humor.
