ATARA - For you, who has not yet found the one
In “ATARA”, Cologne-based choreographer Reut Shemesh directs her gaze onto the world view shared by women who live according to the rules set forth by Jewish orthodoxy and those who take a secular approach. Together, they ask what femininity, female sexuality and their places in society could be. How do they find their destiny, or how do they fail in doing so? By means of re-enactments of events from her own surroundings – Reut Shemesh grew up in a family both secular as well as orthodox – and through photography, text and movement, an oscillating dialogue between different outlooks on the world arises. In this way, clichés, prejudice and one’s own lifestyle come into question, in equal measure.
