DONKEY /   Anat Bosak

What you change, changes you.

The material you act upon, acts upon you.

That’s what they said, and I’m just a fool (DONKEY), so I tried.

This is the story of a container at its maximal capacity, or a container’s attempt to keep on flexing in order not to give (way).

As an attempt to find a bit of orientation in chaos, the choreographer and interdisciplinary artist Anat Bosak turned to the alchemical process which deals with the transformation of material – up to metamorphism. The process is simple. Clear. Apparently.

The material needs to go through: clarification (white heating), freezing, fixation, separation, digestion, distillation, purification, decay, burning, fermentation, dissolution and multiplication.

For that purpose, Anat danced, played on instruments, sang, inflated, exhaled, drew, ironed, loaded up, dismantled, hanged, lighted up and of course, also called for Nina. Because in the world of alchemy, one can not study by himself, you have to learn together, at least two people.

Anat Bosak, a choreographer focusing on light and stage design, constantly searching for environments that influence the performers and vice versa. A graduate of the Exerce ICI-CCN program in Montpellier France, and the School of Visual Theater Jerusalem. Currently part of a program for emerging choreographers in the south of France through the Festival Parallèle – Marseille. Collaborates with artists such as Laura Kirshenbaum, Anne Lee Le Gac, Laura Raio and co-founder of platform LAB-L. Took part in festivals like Almost Summer Belgium, CENTRALE FIES Italy, Reykjavik Dance Festival, Tanzfabrik Berlin and more.
