The Batsheva Dance Company will perform "Last Work" by Ohad Naharin, marking the choreographer's 25th year with Batsheva.

The Suzanne Dellal Centre for Dance and Theatre is located in the historic Neve Tzedek quarter in south Tel Aviv, with top restaurants, trendy boutiques, numerous cafes, and renovated residences. The design for the Suzanne Dellal Centre for Dance and Theatre, inaugurated in 1989, integrates the historic architecture of the neighborhood's original buildings with the clean, contemporary lines that define the Tel Aviv Bauhaus style and the fresh, open spaces that capture the Mediterranean atmosphere.
