A story that comes from within the Body.

Hypnotic, sensational, magnetic and deeply sensual. You cannot stop watching. The highly skilled dancers of Sharon Eyal, express feelings that cannot be put in words. Eyal is considered one of the most important choreographers today. Her creations take us on a breathtaking journey along the emotions we face in life. Delay the Sadness is the new work by Eyal for S-E-D Dance Company, the new company founded by her and Gai Behar. Following their successful collaboration on ima for GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, Josef Laimon will compose the soundtrack for this new piece, exclusively for S-E-D.
