Secus is a creation by Ohad Naharin that boasts a musical collage that stretches from the offbeat electronic stylings of AGF to the alluring Indian melodies of Kaho Naa Pyar Hai to the resonant harmonies of The Beach Boys. This adventurously eclectic mix serves as a fitting backdrop for the audaciously quirky choreography.
Under our incredulous eyes a human alphabet made up of races, solos, terse and clean gestures, interrupted duets, through precise and sudden kicks, sinuous jutting hips, torsos that twist in all directions like molding rubber, expresses pure emotions and feelings without becoming sentimental. Joy, vulnerability, fear, innocence, confusion and anger weave a harmonic and dynamic canvas that oscillates between delicacy and exaggeration.
