Choreographer Ohad Naharin and powerhouse dance company Batsheva come to Berkeley for the Bay Area premiere of a new work. In the company’s words, “MOMO has two souls. One sends long roots to the depths of the earth—a soul that embodies archetypes and myths of hardened, raw masculinity, and the other is in a constant search for an individual and distinct DNA; one moves within its own autonomous and independent force field, and the other is a constellation of elements that spin around the same nucleus—alternately drifting away and towards it, making room for necessary tenderness and catharsis.” Recordings of Laurie Anderson and Kronos Quartet’s Landfall and Philip Glass’ Metamorphosis II provide the slow simmering musical backdrop, alongside Madre Acapella, a song/prayer by Venezuelan musician Arca, and additional music by Naharin himself under the moniker Maxim Waratt.
