SUNNY
EMANUEL GAT DANCE (2016)
Emanuel Gat together with Awir Leon, producer, musician and performer, created SUNNY as a multi-layered event, juxtaposing a live musical concert with a vibrant choreographic exploration. An explosion of ideas, SUNNY is a flowing free-from merging new sounds with an in-depth questioning about contemporary choreographic possibilities.

“
SUNNY by Emanuel Gat is a blast of pleasures. Gat is one of the rare artists of the moment who puts forward a notion of research. His writing is a continuous flux of new sensations. Together with Awir Leon on stage, SUNNY offers some of the most beautiful sequences of the season. The richness of composition, the intelligenceof changing moods and colors, renders SUNNY a choreographic miracle.

Who doesn’t love Google Translate? It’s not only one of the most useful web tools out there, but probably also the most poetic.
