OYSTER / creation 1999

Choreographed by Inbal Pinto & Avshalom Pollak

Oyster- A magical and mysterious full-evening work. Combining the dreamlike qualities of Fellini and the keen intellect of Pina Bausch, Inbal and Avshalom have created a fantastic circus-world of wandering street acrobats and oddly beautiful creatures. Performers and dancers in doll-like make-up, spiky blonde wigs, and tutus alternately become puppets or puppeteers – in one delightful scene, a girl in a bouffant dress becomes a ringing bell. The eclectic score spans opera (Pagliacci), tango (Piazzolla), Harry James Yma Sumac and Tuvan throat singers. Pinto's unique movement encompasses ballet, contemporary, mime and acrobatics. This is a dazzling work that The Village Voice has described as, "Part surreal vaudeville, part circus, and part toy store after midnight. Whimsical… a delight for the eye."
