Painting the town green

Yasmeen Godder, you are a legend.
All I need say about this dance is to describe this one moment:
Covered in green paint, spewed from the mouth of a convulsing dancer, dressed with tights over his head, flashing bicycle lights over his eyes, with crispy spaghetti for hair and oranges as hands, Tsuf Itschaky assumes a Human Fly-esque superhero image. He is ceremoniously lowered onto a ring of red jelly, and proceeds to slide around on it, as Ilaya Shalit slashes open pouches of green paint attached to her gold hotpants as a flirtatious gesture to the fly-creature. There follows an erratic orgy of slipping around on green and red gunge, switching of partners, rippling bodies and snippets of extreme facial expression.
(This ‘ere is an extract from the review I wrote for Ballet.co.uk…)
Yes. It was bloody excellent.
(go to 1:10 to see the human fly)
There you go, that’s enough culture for one eventide.
