Event details

Top Israeli Dancer Aviv Grinfeld

Divinely co-produced with Shanghai International Dance Center Theater

A perfect combination of installation art and contemporary dance

First half duet dance Whistle X Second half solo Pendulum

Bring you into the dancer’s conflict life from her childhood hometown

Whistle and Pendulum are both the steps in our lives

“Pace” is a contemporary dance work choreographed by Israeli dancer Aviv Grinfeld. The show is divided into the first half of duet dance Whistle and the second half solo Pendulum. “Whistle” is presented by two dancers. It uses a childhood memory to lead us through the past. “Pendulum” is Aviv’s solo dance. A pendulum swings to the left and right and repeats itself continuously. German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer said: “Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.” Life is such a dilemma that we struggle to accept the truth and hopefully will find inner peace.

ACT 1. Whistle

Wake up from your present into a timeless dream. open a door into a collection of colorful childhood memories who leave an eternal imprint of nostalgic longing.

We are often thrown back to a long forgotten moment by a smell, a sight or a distant familiar sound.

This is a story about transforming from a childish perspective of right and wrong, Fair and unfair, black and white, into an adult, constantly processing a complex system of choices.

How are we affected by our memories? How deep is our connection to our past? Would you want to go back to a specific moment in time?

Welcome to our world.

ACT 2. Pendulum

We all have different ways of dealing with our own internal demons, those are being reflected to us from our surroundings and affect our interaction with the world around us.

A conflict that is always present but not necessarily visible to others, dictates our movement and defines who we are.

It's about the struggle to accept and the desire to be free.

"Imagine a place where you are someone else, Someone you do not know. That you will not even recognize in the future. The change will become who you are, what you will be."
