On April 7th this year, Gallili Dance Company from the Netherlands will perform in the Macedonian National Theatre (Opera and Ballet) as a part of the Dance Fest Skopje 2008. The show will begin at 20.00 hrs on the big stage of MNT.

The GALILI DANCE COMPANY ( http://www.galilidance.nl) from Groningen, Netherlands will be the first Dutch dance company that  will  perform in Macedonia. This  will resut in a deeper contact with Dutch modern dance and  in   future co-operation between dance artists from both countries.  The  Macedonian public will have the opportunity to see the latest trends of one of the best dance groups in the Netherlands.  

Mr. Itzik Galili, the director Galili Dance Company, is an award-winning choreographer, born in Israel in 1961. He moved to Amsterdam when he was 30 and  has become  one of Europe's most idiosyncratic choreographers. Mr. Galili is highly regarded in the Netherlands. Mr. Galili mixes influences from film and theatre, and his work is thought of being both surreal and humorous as well as demanding for the dancers, in energy, speed, and technique without losing the essential softness and sincerity. The Macedonian audience will have  a  chance to see three pieces of the best known shows, “Heads or Tales - Hot”, ‘Chameleon’ and the ‘The Sofa Scene’ from ‘Through Nana’s Eyes’.
