Aftershock (2015)

Culture shock in hindsight, Aftershock is Artistic Director Ronen Koresh’s reflection on his emigration from Israel to the United States in the 1980s, and its impact on his artistic development and identity. “Israel is a huge part of my life,” Koresh told the St. Louis Jewish Light earlier this year. “It’s what defines me as a person—the culture, the tension, the love of life, the passion, the heat, the music and food, the complexity of racial and cultural integration. But my work is Middle Eastern culture coupled with American experience,” he adds. “Culture shock shakes your core. Then you live, you create, shaken up.”

Through the powerful athleticism and lyrical lines of the synchronized Koresh Company dancers, Aftershock illustrates the dangers and difficulties of building artistic integrity in a new place—the reverberation of hostile receptions, the challenge of gaining acceptance, and the risk of losing oneself to the expectations of a new environment.
