The mighty contemporary choreographer – a combination of dance-maker and rock-star, but with film-director sensibilities. ─《The Times》
One of the British dance scene’s hottest properties, the creator of works that are full of raw, visceral energy, set to blasting percussive scores that he composes himself. ─《New York Times》
In this thrilling new double bill, Hofesh Shechter presents two distinctly contrasting pieces of contemporary dance for our times.
Originally created for Nederlands Dans Theater 1, and later produced as a film and broadcast by the BBC to great acclaim, Clowns is a sarcastic nod to our ever-growing indifference to violence, a macabre comedy of murder and desire that tests how far we are willing to go in the name of entertainment.
As an antidote to the murderous, poisonous energy of Clowns, Shechter’s new creation, The Fix, brings a tender, fragile energy of compassion to the stage – a shield to protect us from the noise of life outside, and a place that allows the performers to be fragile, be seen for their utmost human qualities. Violence, tenderness and hope are all laid bare through Shechter’s achingly beautiful, cinematic lens.
