Yuval Katz | LOG | Premiere

For details and purchase

In his new dance creation, LOG, artist Yuval Katz expands his exploration of body, movement, and memory to the theatrical space. The work is a continuation of "Muscle Memory," presented in 2025 at the Edmond de Rothschild Center, and marks a transition from animation and screen to the live body. In this creation, the video transforms into a living set and an infinite space within which the body acts and is examined. LOG is constructed as a movement archive of humanity, serving as a kind of memorial ritual for the human race. Four dancers perform a 'human repertoire' of gestures, impulses, and actions that seek to question what makes us human. The creation is divided into four chapters: Migration, Intimacy, Conflict, and Prayer, each dealing with a different human state: from concern and migration to intimacy, conflict, pain, and hope. Through movement, sound, and visual imagery, LOG reflects on the human body as a living archive of memories, instincts, and shared hope.

Yuval Katz (1997) is a multidisciplinary artist and 3D animator living and creating in Tel Aviv. His films and works have been presented at international festivals (Annecy, Pictoplasma) and at the Edmond de Rothschild Center. In his practice, Katz explores the encounter between the living body and digital code, and the potential of the technological space to convey emotion, memory, and human warmth. In his works, he combines video, motion scans, and animation to create living stage environments where the body and algorithm merge. For Katz, the computerized grid and the stage are arenas of deconstruction and reconstruction, offering a new perspective on the relationships between technology, consciousness, and muscle memory.
