Theatre of Dreams is a sumptuous smorgasbord of dance theatre rich in visual imagery and lingering in one’s imagination indefinitely.

After a slow beginning, the work gathers pace, thoroughly engrossing the audience in its exhilarating, foot-tapping momentum.

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.
