Is humanity still aching, confused, lamenting and waiting for The Messiah? Are we prepared for The One? An international ballet production, inspired by the creation of J. S. Bach, which is considered sacred for the Christian world.
'As an Israeli Jewish choreographer, son of Holocaust survivors, I aim to build a bridge through this choreography between nations and religions. In this new world, where everyone is Jesus and Jesus is one of us…' Tamir Ginz
Kamea Dance Company Artistic Director and Resident Choreographer
After completing his dance training in Israel and abroad, Tamir Ginz performed with the Haifa Ballet and was a dancer in the 'Batsheva Dance Company' under the artistic direction of Ohad Naharin (1991–1992).
Ginz was the resident choreographer for the Bat-Dor Dance Company in Tel-Aviv and the main contemporary dance teacher in the Bat-Dor studios of Dance (1991–2001).
