Lior Tavori Dance Company: Crust

Following a celebrated showing at New York City Center's Fall for Dance Festival, the Tel Aviv-based Lior Tavori Dance Company arrives in Toronto to present *Crust* at the Meridian Arts Centre's Lyric Theatre. Originally premiering at the Tel Aviv Dance Festival as a co-production with the Suzanne Dellal Centre and the MART Foundation, *Crust* has quickly garnered international acclaim for its relentless physical momentum and expressive depth.

About the Performance Choreographed by Lior Tavori, *Crust* examines the delicate boundaries between vulnerability and strength, personal longing and political reality. Eight virtuoso dancers execute intricate, highly kinetic movement patterns set against an eclectic score, shifting between tribal synchronicity and raw, breathless solos. Tavori’s choreography pushes the human body to its expressive limits, treating movement as an urgent, visceral language in turbulent times.
