Drawing its enigmatic title from both the Spanish language (buscar meaning to seek) and the English language for street performance, BUSK invites us to appreciate the fragility, tenderness and resilience of the human being. Through the power of the collective, the dancers perform complex choreographic structures, drawing on all the facets of their bodies and minds, in a search for true wisdom.

Set to a techno soundtrack alternating with drums and bass, the seventeen spellbound dancers are magnetically drawn together in movements that are nervous yet light and supple. Sharon Eyal highlights the collective force as a source of trepidation, solitude and resilience. A shared pleasure that sometimes stems from pain, or from the pleasure of fighting with the same strength, for the same goals.
