Winston Churchill used the term “black-dog” to refer to his depression: ”The black-dog has bitten me today.”

"The light is important to me; it fights the darkness in my head. Depression is the enemy - the monster lives at my gate." (Shoot the Damn Dog, Sally Brampton)

 

The work was started as part of a collaboration project between the Israeli choreographer’s society and Rimon School for music composition. Premiered May 2016.
