LOVETRAIN2020 unfolds within this charged space of references, counterpoints and endless possibilities, where movement and sound interact to once again, and from a different angle, reveal the obvious yet almost transparent layers in which people come together, drift apart, push and pull, question, resolute and moveforward.
A contemporary “Musical”, LOVETRAIN2020 will call upon the wonderful music of the 80s British duo Tears for Fears (Mad world, Shout, Everybody Wants to Rule The World, Change, Sowing The Seeds Of Love and many other incredible hits from that glorious decade). A choreographic ode to the sound and vibe of the 80s, as embodied in the music of Tears for Fears, with its utopic drive and epic groove.
EMANUEL GAT was born in Israel and initially danced with the Liat Dror Nir Ben Gal company, before establishing himself as an independent choreographer in 1994. His company Emanuel Gat Dance is based in Marseille, France. Due to his unique and personal approach to choreography and dance composition, Emanuel Gat is considered to be one of the leading and most prolific choreographers working in Europe today. Over the past 25 years, Gat's works have been presented at many of the world's most important dance scenes and festivals.
