Hofesh Shechter has in record time become a highly prominent and sought after young choreographer. In England, where it all began, he has both adoration from critics and popular acclaim. After having toured the world with similar success, the two pieces that made the biggest impact and launched his career arrive in Lyon, appearing in France for the first time. Shechter’s dance is highly physical, intense, raw and joyful. It brings to mind the best of Ohad Naharin’s Batsheva, alongside whom he learnt his craft, and Wim Vandekeybus with his willingness to reach out to the wider public. The energy expended during the ensemble pieces in particular is incredibly thrilling and communicative. Although he denies that his work has a political dimension, it is possible to glimpse a vision of the disaster of modern society and urban chaos. His also writes the music played live: cello, viola, percussion and layers of electronica. A huge success is in sight, so don’t delay in discovering it for yourself.
