DAF International Artists – Etay Axelroad

First time within the DAF International Program for Etay Axelroad, an artist who brings with him the experience developed with Göteborg Danskompany, Batsheva Dance Company and Sharon Eyal. A new original work, a new creation, bringing him into the studio with the dancers of DAF Next.

DAF’s choreographic residencies take shape as true cognitive laboratories, where dance moves beyond the dimension of physical practice to become a field of inquiry, a tool of observation, and a device for constructing thought. The creative process unfolds as a system of research, capable of generating original mechanisms and activating a real dialogue between artist and dancers, where the experience is never linear, but constantly renegotiated. Each season presents itself as a perceptual experiment: an interweaving of trajectories that meet, transform, and rewrite themselves, continuously opening new fields of possibility. In this space, dance takes on the value of a language of knowledge, resonating with the deepest tensions of contemporary culture.
