Dynamic and explosive choreography, performed by exceptional young talent.
This programme, composed by Hofesh Shechter for Shechter II, his junior company created in 2015, is a powerful double bill. Aged between 18 and 25, these superb young dancers are drawn from the most inspiring young talent across the world, selected through an audition process of over 1000 dancers. The artistic bar will certainly be high. With two works on display, "Clowns", created in 2016, and a second one being kept secret, Shechter confirms his talent for dynamic and anarchic movement. On a smoky red stage, "Clowns" delivers a human tornado caught up in a wave of chaos and violence to a backing score of percussive beats composed by the choreographer himself. Success guaranteed!
