Sadler's Wells Associate Artist Hofesh Shechter presents his highly anticipated new work Political Mother – his first full evening creation for his internationally acclaimed company since the worldwide success of In your rooms / Uprising.
Commissioned by Sadler's Wells & Brighton Festival, Political Mother brims with Shechter's gritty and emotional complexity. Ten dancers of the Hofesh Shechter Company present an ever more surreal chain of encounters, leading to a series of shocking, amusing and touching events, which challenge our notion of what is 'normal'.
Political Mother is accompanied by a cinematic score composed by Shechter himself and performed by a band of live musicians.
Since his first performances at Sadler's Wells in 2007 Hofesh Shechter has become one of the UK's most celebrated young artists. His work has been seen at the Roundhouse, Latitude Festival and on the opening credits of Channel 4's Skins. |
