Prima assoluta
Sensitivity to heat is a performance built on some of the most important operatic arias and commissioned by the Festival to the choreographer, dancer and musician Dafi Altabeb and her troupe the Dafi Dance Group. The soundtrack presents a repertoire of music comprising Je veux vivre dans ce rêve from Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette, the Prelude and third act of La Traviata by Verdi, Les tringles des sistres tintaient from Bizet’s Carmen and the Danza delle Ore da La Gioconda by Amilcare Ponchielli.
In describing Sensitivity to heat, the choreographer affirms: «I, in matters of sensitivity to heat I don’t have any. I can hold a scorching hot cup in my bare hands and it would feel pleasant. I shower in a steaming hot water, any less and it would feel lukewarm. Everything about me has always and ever been about feelings, extreme feelings. Everything in me goes through a strainer of emotions, through gut feelings, smell and touch. I love to touch with full intent, to intensely embrace to passionately kiss; even when I give a friendly tap on the shoulder I do it with strong intent, Otherwise, it would feel devoid of meaning. Is there any one who doesn’t need touch? For me it’s the air I breathe, without it I drain».
