Vertigo Dance Company

Founded in Jerusalem in 1992 by Artistic Directors Noa Wertheim and Adi Sha’al, acclaimed Israeli dance troupe Vertigo Dance Company makes their ADF debut with their beautiful and dynamic work, Mana. Choreographed by Wertheim, Mana brings to the stage a quiet and restrained strength as it explores an individual’s struggle to reconnect with himself and the internal transformation that happens subsequently. Their movement teems with energy, momentum, and fluid athleticism while the dramatic moving set and costumes bring audiences to a place where the dancers boundaries are set, pushed, and broken throughout the journey developing on stage.
