Barak Marshall's MONGER at Jacob's Pillow

Performing at Jacob's Pillow July 7-11, 2010. http://www.jacobspillow.org/festival/2010/07/barak-marshalls-monger/

Intensely athletic dancing is heightened by surreal theatrical vignettes in Barak Marshall's refreshingly original "MONGER." This arresting and entertaining work fuses contemporary dance with humorous character narratives inspired by Jean Genet's The Maids and Robert Altman's Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning film Gosford Park, and is set to an eclectic score with music by Balkan Beat Box, Handel, Verdi, and National Public Radio's The Yiddish Radio Project. Marshall, the son of acclaimed dancer, choreographer, and musician Margalit Oved, is a former resident choreographer of Batsheva Dance Company.

"This tongue-in-cheek wild dance is a beauty, bursting with energy and human passions."
--The Jerusalem Post
