San Francisco Performances has brought this remarkable modern dance troupe over from Israel for several seasons, and it's a happy thing to say that with Batsheva, one never quite knows what to expect. "Max" is one of Ohad Naharin's most stripped-down and unadorned works, and if one has seen other more elaborate pieces, it might feel surprisingly tame. The opening sections particularly are striking but can be slow moving and subtle - not for those with short attention spans.
Subtle start, then full steam ahead
