" UHLAI "

This was the last ballet Itzik danced himself. The use of video is very much incorporated into the piece, using backscreen projection, belly projection and projection an a screen that could move around on the stage. The combination of the real dance and the imagery on the video, where the dancers also appeared, created some magical moments.
