Hi Daniel,
Thanks for sharing your reaction! I love the term “sensuous apocalypse” – very evocative.

I also saw MAX at BAM a few weeks ago. I have to say that it’s my favorite work out of the four Batsheva performances that I’ve seen since last summer. Naharin managed to created a mood that was nondescript and at times brilliantly confusing. The one thing that I was thinking while watching was “sensuous apocalypse,” if that makes sense. The smiles were also creepy as hell.

Anyways, thanks for the review Deborah.

Mo and Ditty, I’m glad to hear both of you went and enjoyed MAX so much!

Ditty, I e-mailed you as well regarding classes, but for the record, I don’t believe there are any Gaga people classes in New York at this time.

just saw MAX at BAM….arrived late, but what I did see was breath taking at times, Ohad Naharin has a way (as well as his dancers) of giving u the grit with you gold…hell i’ll take it all
epecailly liked the counting part…i was trying to learn the numbers, but gave up to focus on the dancers…yeah i’m glad i went, and hope to see that dance again, peace

I’m glad you got to see this, and even happier to hear that you were moved as well. I agree that those three terms are very fitting – thank you for sharing them!

Deborah,
Just came back from the show in San Deigo. I was touched by this wonderful performance in ways I can’t express yet. There was a talk with the rehersal director after the perpormance and he used these 3 terms that I thought captured some of it: passion, explosive power and creative imagination.
My girlfriend was happy it was so short. They lost her in the first minute …

Thanks Evan! I’m glad you’ll get to see MAX, and I hope I’ll get to hear (or, well, read) what you think about it.

What a wonderful review, Deborah! I cannot wait to see this next week at BAM – I’ll be there opening night. Stay tuned for a full report.
