Watch the Trailer for the New Ohad Naharin Documentary
It’s been nearly a year since I first heard rumblings of a new documentary about modern dance genius Ohad Naharin. (Though it turns out the film had already been a whopping seven years in the making at the time.)

And now, finally, Mr. Gaga is here! The Film explores Naharin’s work through countless rehearsals, performances and interviews. The footage is beautiful—it’s always a treat to watch his superhuman dancers. But what’s more interesting is seeing Naharin give cues, and his ensemble take them on without any hesitation. His troupe is more than 100 percent committed to his vision (as we learned when we went into a rehearsal during Batsheva’s recent U.S. tour), and because of that, he’s able to pull anything out of them.
Currently, Mr. Gaga is only being screened overseas. We’re crossing our fingers that it will be distributed in the U.S. soon, and of course, we will update you if we learn more. Until then, you can watch the trailer below.
