Hofesh Shechter (UK)
Following a meteoric rise to become one of the hottest properties in modern dance, Hofesh Shechter brings his unmistakable style to New Zealand for the first time.
Since its debut in 2010 Political Mother has built a collection of glowing reviews that would be the envy of any dance company in the world. This forceful work from Israeli-born and UK-based Hofesh Shechter is that good, that affecting.
Light and dark, hope and despair, tranquillity and chaos, they all crash together as Shechter explores themes of power, repression and war. This is modern dance for the mainstream – every moment a new and exhilarating assault on the senses.
From its brutally powerful opening scene to the fall of the curtain, Political Mother holds you in its grasp. An ensemble cast of ten dancers executes dazzling sequences of movement; shuffling dejectedly around the stage at one moment, leaping in joyous freedom the next. High above them a band of live musicians delivers Shechter’s electrifying and diverse soundtrack, punctuated by rhythmic military drums and blazing electric guitars.
Political Mother has enjoyed acclaimed seasons on the major dance stages of Europe. Now it’s your chance to experience the production that the world is raving about.
