Orsolina28 Art Foundation is proud to host a studio preview of "Delay the Sadness", the latest creation by Sharon Eyal for S-E-D Dance Company.
"Delay the Sadness" embodies her signature choreographic language: a fusion of intense physicality, hypnotic repetition, and deep emotional tension. Movement unfolds in a continuous flow, evoking a sense of suspension and longing.
With an original score by Josef Laimon, the piece immerses the audience in an experience of resistance and surrender, enhanced by the mesmerizing performance of its eight dancers. Eyal’s work invites the viewer into an entrancing and visceral world of movement.
"Delay the Sadness " will premiere at TorinoDanza (5-7/9) and have its world premiere at Ruhrtriennale (12-15/9).
