Israeli contemporary dance is often synonymous with Ohad Naharin and the Batsheva Dance Company, but choreographer Emanuel Gat is breaking that monopoly. Gat, who started his own company in 2004, has already become a fixture on the international touring circuit, and snagged a three-year residency for his troupe in France. The program at the Lincoln Center Festival offers two premieres for New Yorkers: Winter Variations, an extension of Winter Voyage, his signature duet with Roy Assaf, and Silent Ballet, an ensemble work that — as the title indicates — is performed without music. Gat's dances are abstract in concept, but his work is utterly absorbing because of the emotional layers that resonate through his liquid choreography.
