Assaf continued to explore the theme of gender with two distinct full-length works, Girls (2014) and Boys (2015), both supported by the Intima Dance Festival hosted by Tmuna Theatre in Tel Aviv. In September 2014 he created II Acts for the Blind for L.A. Dance Project under the direction of Benjamin Millepied, which premiered in the Biennale de Lyon, followed in February 2015 by Ballader, a collaboration with the Swedish pianist and composer Roland Peter Pöntinen, for the Royal Swedish Ballet. 2016 saw the creation of Adam, a work for 12 dancers, for the Batsheva Dance Company and Profundis, a work for nine dancers, for National Dance Company Wales. In early 2017 Assaf remade II Acts for the Blind into a full evening with his own company in Israel.
