Aide Mémoire by Rami Be'er
Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company
Choreography, stage design, and lighting: Rami Be'er
Music: John Dowland, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Laibach Music Group, Kronos Quartet
Soundtrack design: Rami Be'er and Alex Claude
Three decades after its premiere, Rami Be’er’s iconic work returns to the stage. "Aide Mémoire" stands as one of Israel’s great choreographic masterpieces, confronting the enduring trauma of the Holocaust as it lives on—both in individual lives and in the fabric of Israeli society. Be’er, one of Israel’s foremost choreographer-dancers and a second-generation Holocaust survivor, moves between fleeting associations, deconstructing and reassembling intergenerational memory— burned into the skin and etched into the body.

(Maariv)"Be'er's movement language does not consist of dance steps; it brings to bear the expression of the entire body; the company is well-trained in this versatile language... You are sure to be captivated by the dancers' zealous performance and the choreography's purity." (New York Times)"A work not to be missed..." (Yediot Aharonot)
