«Bolero X» is a large-scale contemporary dance production choreographed by Israeli artist Shahar Binyamini. It is a bold reimagining of Maurice Ravel’s iconic «Bolero», where the hypnotic pulse and steadily rising climax transform into a powerful ritual of the body.
Around 50 dancers, through repetition and collective motion, explore group energy, unity, and the relationship between the individual and the whole. The choreography mirrors the music’s architecture, creating a sense of continuous breath and mounting tension.
The letter «X» in the title symbolizes a point of intersection - past and present, individual and collective, music and movement.
