Opera Ballet Vlaanderen powers its way through an exciting revamp of Hofesh Shechter’s inimitable Grand Finale.

Hofesh Shechter Company are a tremendous ensemble, performing with pinpoint accuracy whenever in unison, and more-or-less continually in action for over 90 minutes.

An event that will be long-remembered for the importance of the occasion, if not for its content. 

A new manifesto for Rambert under new management of Benoit Swan Pouffer. 

Shechter is back to his finest form with this Waltz for the End of Time.

Somehow the sum of all the many parts that make up The Wind fails to galvanise the brilliance that we have come to expect from this fast-rising choreographer

It’s easy to feel like the world is on the brink of oblivion sometimes. 

NDT 1 Dances Schechter's groovy assaults to the senses, Uprising and In Your Rooms, from a call to uprising to a search for political engagement.

Hofesh Shechter is a choreographer who uses dance to make powerful statements in quite an oblique way. He does not define a storyline or delineate strong characters that can catch the audience’s sympathy. Rather, he combines the theatrical elements to suggest ideas and create moods, presenting them in disjointed fragments that the audience must put together after reflection.
