About the performance:

"KACHA" in a raw choreographic and theatrical way answers questions that Kolben never dared to be asked by journalists or the public. These questions were considered impolite, failed to arouse public interest or were too difficult to answer. Nevertheless, they are the key to a deeper understanding of ourselves and others. The show therefore poses these questions through the choreography and voices of the dancers, thus expanding our understanding and shattering preconceptions, resulting in an immersive experience.

KACHA is based on an interview with Amir Kolben that never took place, drawing inspiration from Kolben's personal journey. It evokes conversations that continue long after the curtain falls.

KACHA.

About Kolben Dance

Kolben Dance was founded in 1996 by artistic director and choreographer Amir Kolben. It is a contemporary dance company that lives and breathes the complex essence of Jerusalem, its home and Israel.

Kolben Dance is committed to its mission of creating contemporary, meticulous, moving, thought-provoking dance with a poignant statement in the social and personal realm.

The company combines choreographic skill and artistic daring, expressed in physicality, athleticism and technical complexity, and its dancers are active partners in the creative process.

In his creations, Kolben often sensitively addresses social and political issues that are part of reality in Israel. In a world reverberating with echoes of conflict, our dance company is an invitation to introspection and understanding. Using the universal language of dance, we navigate the complexity of human emotion, delving into the darker aspects of life, while initiating a dialogue that prompts a true revision of ourselves and the social fabric. Our work crosses boundaries, joining a global conversation that seeks healing and mutual understanding.

Kolben Dance has presented its diverse repertoire at festivals, theaters and events around the world, including France, Germany, Romania, the United States, China, India and many other countries.

The company is committed to its mission of making the language of dance accessible to various audiences, adults, children and young people, and achieves this goal by operating 3 dance schools in various locations. In addition, it organizes demonstrations, lectures and workshops as part of its social activities.
