NATIONAL PREMIERE
30 September – 1 October 9pm

«The sun is beautiful, bright and we all crave for it, but it’s also very hot and dangerous», says Hofesh Shechter about “Sun”, his new creation. A powerful dancing performance and a step forward into Anglo-Israeli choreographer’s research. His style is influenced by Middle Eastern and North European folk dance; Shechter reinterprets both into energetic and contemporary group choreographies, set up in solos, furious rhythms and a strong and aggressive soundtrack -partially created by himself or drew from a wide repertory that goes from classic to rock music. “Sun” is a performance about power and its logics, which can be cruel and violent sometimes but also grotesque.
