Mr. Gaga
Director: Tomer Heymann
Israel/the Netherlands/Germany/Sweden, 2015, 100 min., English and Hebrew w/ English and Hebrew subtitles
Having spent many an intimate hour attending rehearsals, watching magnetizing dance performances and studying rare, archived materials, director Tomer Heymann has created a unique cinematic approach that he employs to present the fascinating character and life story of Ohad Naharin, artistic director of the Bathsheva Dance Company and inventor of the Gaga language.
Mr. Gaga has been shown in leading festivals around the world, including SXSW, HotDocs, Full Frame, Tempo, and the London and Munich film festivals, and came in third in the IDFA Audience Award.
Director Tomer Heymann and the protagonist Ohad Naharin will attend the screening.
