In the organizer's words:

Dance double bill with choreographies by Eyal Dadon and Taulant Shehu

From 10 years

Both choreographers take a look at today's society with this first dance evening.

Eyal Dadon's highly acclaimed creation Kaputt (premiered in Tel Aviv in 2018 under the title Lamot ), which received unanimous critical acclaim, deals with the obsession with consumption and material greed. "The high aesthetic level of the work should be emphasized [...] the serious and honest passion that Dadon has brought to the world of dance with this piece." (Ora Brafman "Dance Talk")

In it, he deciphers our lies of glamor and wealth, the pretense of false beauty that we so readily want to believe. Kaputt deals with the unwritten rules that we set ourselves and to which we submit.

Nobody knows is about our values, about expectations and desires for success, about 'standing' and recognition, and on the flip side about failure - but above all about breaking through these shiny surfaces, about a change of perspective and the desire to look behind them and discover what is really there. As Taulant Shehu says: "Beneath the surface, we are sensitive, fragile, emotional and vulnerable."

The pressure to succeed and appearances demand conformity - how far will we go to achieve this? Does it also imply a loss of empathy?

And yet a shift / change of direction is possible - and this is precisely where Taulant Shehu's artistic credo comes in, which does not seek to whitewash, but rather gives space and moving expression to a possible humanity in everyday life.
