Aide-Mémoire by Rami Be’er

Three decades after its premiere, Rami Be’er’s iconic masterpiece returns to the stage. Aide-Mémoire, one of the landmark works of Israeli dance, echoes both the personal and collective trauma left by the Holocaust on society and the individual.
Be’er — one of Israel’s most prominent choreographers and a second-generation Holocaust survivor — moves through associative flashes, deconstructing and reconstructing the intergenerational memory etched into the skin and engraved on the body

“… Aide Memoire, a stirring work that rightly elicited a standing ovation…succeeds as an evocation without trying for a description…Highly theatrical in his lighting… Be’er achieves his dramatic purpose through choreographed free association…. The committed performance of the cast and the purity of the choreography will win you over.”  – The New York Times
