Vertigo Dance at Jacob's Pillow
Vertigo Dance Company is one of Israel's top contemporary dance troupes. The company makes its Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival debut with Mana, choreographed by founder Adi Wertheim. Mana, which refers to a vessel of light described in the mystical text the Zohar, is full of beautifully theatrical metaphor and the athleticism that is a signature of great contemporary dance from Israel. An eclectic score by Ran Bagno incorporates waltz, jazz, and klezmer-influenced music, while dramatic sets and costume designs transport the audience to a faraway world of shadow, light, and inspiration.
