“Here is a choreography who knows how to bend tradition with craft.”
Ballet Magazine

Emanuel Gat is an emerging Israeli France-based artist that has imposed his unique style and has conquered international recognition.

This upcoming choreographer knows how to put feelings in the choreographic language, focusing on the dance itself and choosing eclectic music arrangements to mingle with the body movements. The result is admiringly inspirational and aesthetical.

“Winter Voyage” and “The Rite of Spring” are their two signature pieces to be performed at CCM which received great critical acclaim over 300 presentations worldwide.

“Winter Voyage” is a duet based on Schubert’s songs, in which Emanuel Gat, besides being the choreographer, lighting and costume designer is also a dancer, and what an amazing dancer he is!

The synchronicity and complicity between the two men on stage, dressed like monks, with their heads shaven, is captivating and hypnotic. The bond that holds them together is almost visible and their sinuousness of movement is a constant enticement.
