Set to premiere in Paris (La Villette) this June, UK-based, Israeli choreographer and composer Hofesh Shechter's, new production will depict a world in freefall, where humanity spirals through surreal scenes and emotions towards its own end point. Shechter’s mythic vision is at once comic, bleak, and beautiful, evoking a world at odds with itself, full of anarchic energy and violent comedy. Intricate, chiselled choreographic patterns and a dynamic score performed live onstage will meet in a heady mixture of power and emotion to tell a story about the human spirit. Shechter’s exceptional ensemble of dancers from eight different countries will physically embody this story.
