A choreography that responds to a sequence of lyrical texts to guide us through moments of loss and rediscovery, of coming closer and moving away. As in the biblical Song of Songs, a circular figure is described. In this piece, the woman is in dialogue with a beloved language, Hebrew, and its land, Israel. If this land and its people are wounded by violence and war, the related self is also attacked.
