For celebrating 20 years to the “Curtain Up” project - Noa Dar crated the work “Anu” and invited 2 creations by the young choreographers Maya Brinner and Irad Mazliah. Both are cooperating with her as dancers for the past few years. The creation’ process and its final outcome - became a meeting point for the choreographers’ different approaches toward uniformity versus individuality, fixation versus change and mobility.
Reviews :
“Original and fascinating performance charged with meaningful sayings - regarding humanistic, social and political universal issues, but at the same time, holding observations on us, here and now. Noa Dar’s “Anu”, is a thought’ provoking creation, and it is much bigger then its components. It made an impressive ending to en evening that its ideological content made it a unique dance event” Zvi Goren, “Ha’Bama”, 3.12.09
"This program of 3 creators, each one with a unique voice of his own, versatile and of a high quality. “Noa Dar created Anu” (Us) – it is a deep and rationalistic dance, full of symbol’s and humor, with political implications to the place we live in. The work is ending with singing of the priest’s blessing - a pray for peace”. Ruth Eshel, “Ha’aretz”, 30 November 09
