"Deganit Shemy is a choreographer with scalding, original theatricality. And her dancers - with their intense, stunned, staring faces and their bodies that move as if made of hard and soft rubber - are fantastic."
- Eva Yaa Asantewaa, InfiniteBody

“2 kilos of sea” is itself a compressed chunk of layers — emotional, psychological, textural — activating and unsettling its urban setting. Surprisingly, this is Ms. Shemy’s first site-specific work; she should do more." more
