Aterballetto performs for the first time at the Lodz Ballet Festival, which welcome the dance company as ‘special guest’.
On the occasion, the whole company of sixteen dancers presents Yeled and Secus, signed by Israeli choreographers Eyal Dadon and Ohad Naharin.
YELED, Hebrew for ‘child’, brings to the stage the reflection that Israeli choreographer Eyal Dadon, along with the dancers of Aterballetto, has explored on the moment in life when one loses the innocence of childhood.

Secus is a creation by Ohad Naharin that boasts a musical collage that stretches from the offbeat electronic stylings of AGF to the alluring Indian melodies of Kaho Naa Pyar Hai to the resonant harmonies of The Beach Boys. An audaciously quirky choreography in which joy, vulnerability, fear, innocence, confusion, and anger weave a harmonic and dynamic canvas that oscillates between delicacy and exaggeration.
