Keren Levi – NeverLike: HOT WALK

HOT WALK is a multidisciplinary performance exploring the intersections of climate change, aging, and parenthood. Two women walk on a treadmill, with projected images of a picturesque park landscape creating the illusion of a walk in nature. Their conversation flows from topics like menopause and climate change to motherhood, touching on “hot” issues such as shame, anger, and regret. As their encounter unfolds, dance and image gradually takes over from speech — Walking turns into rocking, speaking becomes singing, and the park transforms into other worlds.

The performance highlights the connection between the transformation of the body and the warming of our planet, showcasing both destruction and renewal. The audience experiences a mix of dry humor and unsettling stories, which, in their vibrant spontaneity, contrast sharply with the stiff aesthetics of the simulated park. HOT WALK offers a disruptive journey through the changes in our inner and outer worlds, intertwining the personal with the planetary.

With HOT WALK, Levi continues to explore perception, combining multiple perspectives and manipulating video images. She has established herself as a choreographer who places dance in spaces where social conventions and expectations are made visible.
