Decadance is a dance performance made up of excerpts of Ohad Naharinꞌs already staged choreographic works, originally created with the members of the Batsheva dance company that, like a dance game, freely adds or removes the existing parts, considered from other, different angles. The work uses music composed by various contemporary authors and is abundant in Naharinꞌs famous creations with which he investigates the limits and the explosive power of the gesture, introducing to the dancers a virtuoso and sensual energy, shaped by the flood of emotions. The innovative and specific Naharinꞌs movement gaga is used in the performance, which the Zagreb ballet ensemble evidently enjoyed as well as the Zagreb audience, just like the audiences in great world ballet centres in which this same performance had its premieres.
