L-E-V's House at the Vancouver Playhouse

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Alternately looking like automatons and aliens, L-E-V’s dancers inhabit a strange, technological universe that falls somewhere between a sci-fi movie and a techno house. In fact, the work House, which the red-hot Israeli company brings to the Vancouver Playhouse on Friday and Saturday (November 14 and 15) is partly created by Gai Behar, a one-time rave producer, and his DJ Ori Lichtick. The other powerful force in this dance-making trio is the inimitable Sharon Eyal, a longtime dancer with the famed Batsheva company. If you saw Eyal and Behar’s Corps de Walk at last year’s Chutzpah Festival, you have an idea of how much eerie, sex-charged cool the choreographers can generate. But that was a piece created for Norway’s Carte Blanche Dance. L-E-V is the duo’s own company, unfiltered—in other words, full-on.
