By Ohad Naharin
The illusion of beauty / and a fine line that separates madness from sanity / the panic behind the laughter / and the coexistence of fatigue and elegance.
Black Milk, a complex, powerful and extremely demanding work that owes its quality to the alchemy with which every element is suffused and to the energy required by the five dancers on stage.
An excerpt from Ohad Naharin's Minus One, Black Milk has been presented by Les Grands Ballets Canadiens on their home stage in Montreal as well as on tour in Cuba.
