EMANUEL GAT, CHORÉGRAPHE HUMANISTE
Comme dans un laboratoire, le chorégraphe Emanuel Gat s’efforce, dans chacune de ses pièces, de réinventer les interactions entre ses danseurs et la composition d’ensemble de ses tableaux. II en résulte une écriture tout en intensité valorisant chacun de ses interprètes, comme dans Lovetrain2020, qui tourne en 2024 dans toute l’Europe.
Read MoreEs war wohl das für Kooperationen stets offene, stets neugierige Ensemble Modern, das den ersten Schritt tat, aber der israelische Choreograf Emanuel Gat (Student der Musik, ehe er sich dem Tanz zuwandte) scheint sich keinen Moment geziert zu haben: So stehen nun das Frankfurter Orchester und die Company Gats gemeinsam auf einer Bühne, jetzt der des Frankfurt LAB. „Story Water“ hatte im Sommer in Avignon Uraufführung, nun war das 75-minütige Stück ein Höhepunkt des in der Hauptsache vom Mousonturm ausgerichteten Tanzfestivals Rhein-Main.
Read MoreWith each new piece, the choreographer Emanuel Gat and his dancers compose together, improvise, and inspire each other. Giving birth to intense and complex pieces, such as "Story Water", presented in the Cour d’Honneur du Palais des papes.
Read More“We laugh at gestures from the world of swimming or children's games. We are seized by perfect lines and backs that embody the vibrations of strings. The further the show progresses, the more coherent it is as an allegory of a life within a community that would work.”
Read More“For his first participation at the Avignon Festival, this Israeli choreographer based in France did not choose the easy way. But by asserting the strive towards a dance in which performers are at the centre - and sometimes co-authors - Emanuel Gat stands out in the big leagues. And at the Cour d’Honneur.”
Read More“What a journey and what a show! Let’s say it, Story Water is a success. It is not that Emanuel Gat has “tamed the wal” of the court as is the custom. He plays in front of it.”
Read More“Emanuel Gat delivers an energetic and vibrant choreography. [...] It has been a long time since a dance show was so captivating in the Cour d’Honneur du Palais des Papes.”
Read More“Story Water immerses a deep and serene look upon where music and choreography meet, intermediaries offered to a space where everyone can walk, just as crossing a garden. * This sentence could summarise the feeling at the end of the show, a sensation that will remain and continue to grow in us. To receive this gift, one will need to be patient, to wait for the last minutes of this performance, and thus to experience the power and strength of Story Water.”
Read More“Nailed to their chairs, seized by the purity and modesty of Gat’s dance, the spectators have only one desire: to rush on the stage. We come out smiling, remembering why we so often go to the theatre: to experience those rare and short moments when a joyful meeting takes place as we are united by Art. Gat inscribed his name on the pediment of the greatest choreographers who have played in the Cour d’Honneur.”
Read More“But finally, Story Water is, indeed, a masterful ode to dance, an act of faith and high maturity from an artist who has reached the heights of mastery.”
Read More“Under its initial appearances of a long and quiet river, Story Water carried in it all the germs of a courageous rhetoric, unfolding subtly. Gat hoists on the crests of a repeating landscape. Resulting in purity that manages to say something altogether different.”

Read MoreFRANKFURT - Am Ende steht nur noch Kontrabassist Paul Cannon über sein Instrument gebeugt. Seine letzten Klänge schwingen nach, die zehn Tänzer aber liegen um ihn herum am Boden. Dort hatte der Tanz zum Kontrabasskonzert „Fury 2“ von Rebecca Saunders auch begonnen. Der israelische Choreograf Emanuel Gat (Jahrgang 1969) ermuntert seine Tänzer zu einem „sehr intuitiven Umgang“ mit der Musik der englischen Neutönerin. „Ich versuche nicht, das zu illustrieren“, sagt er bei den Proben zusammen mit dem Ensemble Modern auf der Frankfurter LAB-Bühne an der Schmidtstraße.
