As a member of the gay community in Israel, and following a rough few years regarding the acceptance and public acknowledgment of rights for LGBTQ people Yoram Karmi, the artistic director of the Fresco Dance Company, decided to address the subject of gender perception and societies’ attitudes towards it, through dance. The urge of addressing this topic in a cultural context was propelled when cases of tragic deaths of members of the transgender community became public. The title “ Genderosity” is a mix between the words Gender and Generosity. The piece challenges gender perception and the audience’s point of view about male and female roles, gender, love and sexuality.
The piece is also suitable for young adults ages 14+
