Naharin has reorganised excerpts from various works into a coherent, new whole. Decadance is constantly evolving and features in a variety of forms in the repertory of major companies around the globe.
STRUT Dance will present its own unique version: Decadance Perth 2016 with many of the exceptional dancers that have been researching Gaga: Ohad Naharin’s movement language over the past three years.
