13 Nov 2010. In Winter Variations, choreography by Emanuel Gat/Roy Assaf. For Romaeuropa festival. A study in heterosexual male bonding, Winter Variations is the latest work from Israeli choreographer Gat, and represents the continuation of themes explored in his previous work, Winter Voyage. Set to a soundtrack ranging from Gustav Mahler to Riyad Al-Sunbati, the work is an intimate duet performed on a vast stage. Gat uses the scale to intensify the actions, relations and intentions of the choreography, allowing the space to become almost a third character in itself. Co-created and performed with regular collaborator Roy Assaf, with whom Gat shares a rare physical telepathy.
