The exhibition will offer a glance into two different representations of the juxtaposition of American choreographers and Israeli dance: known choreographies performed by Batsheva's dancers and original choreographies that were specially created for the company. Beginning with Martha Graham, they include Jerome Robbins, Anna Sokolow, Donald McKayle, Jose Limon, Robert Cohan, and, more recently, Elizabeth Streb, Douglas Varone, and Danny Ezralow. These two kinds of meetings carry out an artistic dialogue between American concepts and Israeli culture. Through the choreographies one can see the company's local and global characteristics, which places Batsheva Dance Company as a microcosm of Israeli culture.
