Because We Love You

"Because We Love You" is a 1 hour long dance/theater duet by Tamar Lamm and David Kern. Created for the 2016 Zirat Machol dance festival in Jerusalem, the piece attempts to document its own creation. The starting point for the work was the contents of our own thoughts as we arrive in the performance space for the first time. The layers of thoughts and meta-thoughts eventually overwhelm us and the only way out seems to be to retreat into a fantasy. We take a vacation from our artist-selves before eventually coming to terms with our own inability to explain all of our actions.
