In the organizer's words:

from 16 years

With "Delay the Sadness" , Sharon Eyal, one of the most important choreographers of our time, presents the latest creation for her dance company "S-E-D". This sensational, magnetic evening is about loss, grief and love, about purity and memory. "Delay the Sadness" is personal and profound.

"'Delay the Sadness' is an invitation to feel, to share and to connect. To be sad and happy. And above all, to be. Simply." Sharon Eyal

The soundtrack by Josef Laimon is lively and intimate, sad and happy at the same time and underpins the memorable, powerful atmosphere. Josef Laimon has already composed for Sharon Eyal's production "ima" (2024).

Sharon Eyal is an internationally renowned choreographer and artistic director who understands choreography as a total art form in which movement, music and costume are created together. Her works are characterized by physical intensity and precise movement language between classical ballet and
classical ballet and an extended artistic spectrum. In 2013, she founded the company "S-E-D" with her artistic partner Gai Behar as a platform for works with great artistic freedom. In 2022, they both moved their center of life to Paris and from there
their commitment to the European cultural scene from there.
