In February, Saar Harari took his signature style incorporating movement vocabulary of the military, Gaga movements, and lean and visceral choreography and pushed it to the limits.

LeeSaar The Company’s previous works were received with critical acclaim. Herd of Bulls was described by the New Yorker as an “exploration of animal instinct [that] ranges past the violent and murderous impulses of the body to the sensual and seductive,” and these works build to this ambitious new project for the company.

February was performed at La Mama, and was received with wide acclaim. The Village Voice referred to the dancers as “amazing” and “mysterious,” and The New York Times wrote, “…Mr. Levasseur’s lighting gives the work a fascinating theatricality and rhythm, and the focused interiority shown by Ms. Lin and Ms. Hsiang is never less than remarkable to watch.”

Their production, Prima, was met with rave reviews. The New York Times wrote, “The intense Israeli duo Saar Harari and Lee Sher return to Performance Space 122 with the premiere of “Prima,” a highly physical quartet. Throughout “Prima,” the line between violence and sexuality is cynically blurred, as dancers hold their arms up, as if at gunpoint, or crawl on the floor like strippers.” nytheatre.com recommended the show to audiences saying, “The dancers—Jye-Hwei Lin, Hsin-Yi Hsiang, Hyerin Lee, and Candice Schnurr—are simply breathtaking. Three very petite women and a third whose athletic physique might be described as ever-so-slightly more Baccanale than Balanchine, they move with fervent intensity and ease. Several sequences of Prima take place in absolute silence and feature periods of magnificent stillness; launching out of these moments, the perfect synchronicity of the company is a thing of wonder. They seem almost preternatural, able to perceive one another’s movement utilizing a sense not granted mere mortals.”
