By Ohad Naharin
The illusion of beauty / and a fine line that separates madness from sanity / the panic behind the laughter / and the coexistence of fatigue and elegance... these words open Ohad Naharin's Minus One, one of the most innovative pieces from the repertory of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal.
This complex and finely chiselled work owes its quality to the alchemy with which every element is suffused. Starting with excerpts from seven different pieces (Zachacha, Sabotage Baby, Black Milk, Passomezzo, Anaphaza, Queens of Golub et Mabul), Mr. Naharin has
succeeded in creating a single work, unique and whole, that at no point feels like an arbitrary collage. Choreographic patchwork is a perilous exercise, but the choreographer has carried it off with flair. At the finale, he pays a magnificent tribute to dance and above all to dancers themselves, with the company's performers speaking in voice-over throughout the piece, telling their own stories and talking about their relationships with dance.
Minus One gives Les Grands Ballets' dancers a chance to demonstrate the full diversity of their talents. This work is one of the company's largest worldwide successes to date.
