In Shahar Binyamini’s new creation, 50 dancers from House of Dance join The Revolution Orchestra for one extraordinary evening on the stage of the Israeli Opera, in a unique first-time collaboration that re-examines three canonical works that transformed the face of dance in the 20th century:

APRIL – The Rite of Spring | ARISE – Afternoon of a Faun | BOLERO X
Choreography by Israeli and international creator Shahar Binyamini
Conductor: Roi Oppenheim | Composer: Ariel Blumenthal | Musical direction: Roi Oppenheim & Zohar Sharon

BOLERO X

Set to Ravel’s Bolero, BOLERO X, created by Shahar Binyamini for 40 dancers, became an international sensation, performed on leading stages across the world – in Germany, Canada, France, China, and more.
Now, for the first time in Israel, the work will be performed with a live orchestra, unveiling the depth, rhythm, and hypnotic repetition of Bolero, as the music’s pulse moves from score to motion.

Part One: APRIL

In the first part of the evening, Shahar Binyamini presents a powerful piece exploring rhythm, body, and collectivity — reimagined through key moments in the history of modern dance.
The work unfolds as a ritualistic, timeless space in which the collective body merges into a single living entity, and the individual oscillates between unity and resistance. Movements flow between an inner drive and collective momentum, creating a sensorial, almost mystical experience of a ritual in formation.

Accompanied by original orchestral music by Ariel Blumenthal, performed live by The Revolution Orchestra, the score mirrors the choreography in its search for new colours and textures — a surprising orchestral sound blending traditional acoustic instruments with electronic elements, guitars, unique percussion, and synthesizers.

Part Two: ARISE

In the second part, Binyamini turns his gaze toward concepts of space, image, and sensation, as they emerged in the early 20th century’s music and dance revolutions.
The choreography moves along a delicate, mystical, and sensual line — between movement minimalism and physical eruption, between the individual and their surroundings, attraction, and distance. This is a timeless sphere where the body appears as memory, longing, and impulse.

In collaboration with composer Ariel Blumenthal, a new musical layer is woven — gently resonating with familiar materials while crafting a contemporary interpretation performed live by The Revolution Orchestra.

Part Three: BOLERO X

The evening concludes with BOLERO X — a choreographic interpretation of an iconic musical structure built on repetition, accumulation, and gradual intensification. The movement develops from a single rhythmic and physical pattern, evolving in colour and energy over time.

The choreography explores the tension between individual and collective, between control and surrender, discipline, and passion. Through repetition and precision, a sweeping, almost ritualistic physical experience emerges, drawing together the evening’s threads into one powerful climax.
