Hofesh Shechter Company are delighted to announce that Hofesh Shechter will create a new work for Hofesh Shechter Company with its world premiere at La Villette with Theatre de la Ville in Paris in June 2017.
The new work will be a piece of total theatre, of power and surprise, of social observation and cultural reflection engaging with the contemporary world. Intricate movement and a heady, vibrant musical score will be composed by Hofesh himself based on sketches of eastern sounds and inspiration. With a full ensemble of his company dancers and a live band on stage, this new creation promises to bring the energy and impact that have become a Shechter trademark.
Hofesh said;
“I love having a live band on stage - the force, the excitement, the drive, the demand that live music puts on the work to be perfectly edited, perfectly measured, the way it forces the work into totality and into precision, but also into risk and danger by the ‘liveness’ of the show… anything can happen. I can’t wait to compose the music and get into the studio with the dancers and get our teeth into it.”
World Premiere:
14 – 24 June 2017
Grande Halle de La Villette, Paris

2017 - 18 tour dates:
The work will tour worldwide throughout 2017–18.
