The chariot is a mosaic of situations sketching delicate impressions of pain in space.

The movement material is built on texts exploring situations of disaster as a collective consciousness of reality.

The choreographer, together with the dancers, explores the living boundary between life and death, the “edge” as it defines it, and our need as humans to survive.

“The Chariot by Meirav Cohen is an intensive and energetic ritual dance, which draws almost sexual pleasure from the provocation of death. In Meirav Cohen I recognize a strong internal fire that does not give her rest, the creator explores with the dancers the boundary between life and death, the ‘edge’.”
