Hillel Kogan: We Love Arabs

Israeli choreographer Hillel Kogan’s award-winning duet We Love Arabs aims to dive headlong into the toughest of questions – how can we co-exist within conflict? Somewhere in Tel Aviv, a Jewish choreographer enlists an Arab dancer to help create a work that will overcome fears and carry a message of peace: but as the work progresses, power struggles ensue. With the aim of skewering choreographic fads as well as unconscious bias and misplaced good intentions, the piece unfolds as a corrosively funny takedown of politics, ethnic stereotypes and contemporary dance itself.
