ABSTRACT
The second part of the book addresses expressions and representations of the relationships and the conflict between the two communities in theatrical dance in Israel. The introduction presents the historical context of European theatrical dance that first appeared in the political sphere and discusses its complexity and effectiveness as a tool for social criticism in general and for criticism of a society’s political character in particular. After elaborating on the small number of choreographers dealing with the conflict in Palestine/Eretz Yisrael and the State of Israel, a chronological review of dances dealing with this issue is presented.
