Es ist seine Antwort darauf, wie es denn sei, als Jude in S&uuml;dfrankreich zu leben, wo Le Pens Front National stark ist und alles "Fremde" nicht wohl gelitten. Er denkt sich nicht als Jude - wahrscheinlich ebenso wenig wie als Marokkaner. Seine Eltern sind israelische Einwanderer aus dem Maghreb. Gat ist dunkelh&auml;utig, aus seinem scharfkantigen Gesicht blicken Augen wie schwarzgl&uuml;hende Kohlest&uuml;cke. Vor zwei Jahren ist er mit seiner Frau, seinen f&uuml;nf Kindern und seiner Gruppe Emanuel Gat Dance nach S&uuml;dfrankreich gezogen, um das Maison de la Danse in Istres nahe Marseille zu &uuml;bernehmen. "In Israel war ich heimatlos", sagt er. "Ich hatte kein Studio. Ich f&uuml;hlte mich wie ein Geiger ohne Geige."</p>

<p>"Artmaking is about contrast," choreographer Emanuel Gat offered at the post-performance discussion following the world premiere performance of Winter Variations at the Reynolds Industries Theater (June 22-24, 2009). From the first image, Gat revealed the contrasts at the heart of the work, balancing the tension between darkness and light, sound and silence, movement and stillness. The duet, created and performed by Gat and Roy Assaf, opened with an electronic hum, growing gradually louder. The lights blinked on, revealing large squares of faint light on the stage, separated by margins of shadow. Gat and Assaf, sometimes alone, sometimes weaving in and out of unison, moved with precision into and between the lighted areas, freezing for long, measured pauses before continuing.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.emanuelgatdance.com/press/rss-comments-entry-4582969.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>La beauté de l’éphémère</title><dc:creator>[Your Name Here]</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:00:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.emanuelgatdance.com/press/2009/7/2/la-beaute-de-lephemere.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">393012:4269103:4583164</guid><description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.lestroiscoups.com/article-33369322-6.html"><strong>Fatima Miloudi / Les Trois Coups</strong></a></p>

<p>A pall washed over the normally sunny town of Montpellier, France, when dance aficionados learned that <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2009/07/pina-bausch-remembered.html">Pina Bausch</a>, the undisputed goddess of theater dance, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/arts/la-me-bausch1-2009jul01,0,6610100.story">had died unexpectedly</a> Tuesday in Wuppertal, Germany, at age 68.</p>
<p>What better tribute, then, than to go on with the show(s) at the 29th annual <a href="http://www.montpellierdanse.com/pages/?all=accueil&amp;idl=21">Montpellier Dance Festival</a>, where the art form continues to be on view at various venues through Saturday. In the case of Israeli choreographer-dancer <a href="http://www.emanuelgatdance.com/">Emanuel Gat</a>, who makes his home in France, his extraordinary duet with Roy Assaf, &ldquo;Winter Variations,&rdquo; was performed to a full house at the 2,000-seat Opéra Berlioz. Filling such a vast stage is no easy feat, even for a medium-sized company, but to command the space for 50 minutes with this unabashedly intimate pas de deux proved a breathtakingly emotional journey.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.emanuelgatdance.com/press/rss-comments-entry-4582896.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>A triumphant and ever-evolving duet</title><dc:creator>[Your Name Here]</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:48:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.emanuelgatdance.com/press/2009/6/25/a-triumphant-and-ever-evolving-duet.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">393012:4269103:4583107</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.citybeat.com/cincinnati/blog-810-american-dance-festivals-israeli-dance-celebration.html">Julie Mullins - Citybeat .com</a></p>

<p>Last night, I attended Emanuel Gat Dance&rsquo;s <em>Winter Variations</em>, an evening-length piece commissioned by ADF that had its world premiere at this festival. Gat&rsquo;s company is Israeli by origin, but is now working in France. I wondered what effect this might have on his work politically, creatively. But that&rsquo;s another story &hellip;</p>
<p><em>Winter Variations</em> is a triumphant and ever-evolving duet created and performed by Gat and Roy Assaf. Dressed in drab tees and dark pants and shoes, the two men mesmerize with the sheer fluidity and authenticity of their movements. Through dramatic changes in mood, lighting and music, a choreographic language gradually emerges&mdash;one that takes the audience on a journey into the facets and possibilities of their relationship to one another. Whether it&rsquo;s literal or figurative doesn&rsquo;t matter here. Neither does a clear narrative thread. It&rsquo;s body over brain, yet their foreheads join for an instant in a sort of mind meld.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.emanuelgatdance.com/press/rss-comments-entry-4583107.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
