About When Love Walked In

Inspired by the gap between the way love is presented in culture and the way love is being experienced by the individuals, Yossi Berg and Oded Graf created the dance-musical-drama When Love Walked In. The work is presented as a series of short stories connected by a body who is in search of intimacy.

Three people oscillate between personal nostalgia and collective memory, who sing and dance to fill the gap between their inner world and the one outside. They were like specter wanders taking on the form and the feel of the songs they sing, encircling around you, igniting your memories that  has been imprinted on you.

In When Love Walked In, the choreographers explore the essence of what it means to be human – to love, to feel excited, to experience failure, to dream, to long for something, to feel sense of belonging and to be estranged. They present to us what one is evasive to face and that through art one can then touch and get close to the edge of the surface..

Dance, Music, Drama – Witness Dancers Respond to Love in Diverse Forms

WHEN LOVE WALKED IN revolves around the theme of love, intertwining elements such as bodily movement, narrations, and vocal harmonies to create a sequence of vignettes. The dancers commence with Madonna's iconic track "Like a Prayer," employing Haddaway's "What is Love" to raise continuous questions. Through cyclic monologues, they portray how individuals are molded by their past experiences, exploring possession, relinquishment, excitement, yearning, delight, desolation, and anguish in the realm of love through their bodies and voices.

Find Your Seat on Stage And Engage in Revelry and Delightful Disco

At times, the dancers may join you, partaking in the performance alongside you, sharing their uncertainties, erasing the boundary between spectator and performer. And you, as an audience, can become part of the performance.
