"Corps de Walk" is a style-defining piece from the period before the international breakthrough of Israeli star choreographer Sharon Eyal. First performed in 2011, the commissioned work by the contemporary Norwegian dance company Carte Blanche is about the dangerous eroticism of the masses.

Together with her partner and techno artist Gai Behar and DJ Ori Lichtik, Eyal parodies the large group scenes of classical ballet with choreography that seems to come straight from the dance floor of a futuristic techno club. Almost 15 years after its premiere, "Corps de Walk" is being re-staged by the Hessian State Ballet
