Hofesh Shechter: IN THE BRAIN

Southbank Centre

During a rehearsal, a planned solo part was spontaneously transformed into a group piece because the energy in the room was so strong – an example of the creative openness and flexibility of the GöteborgsOperans Danskompani. The ensemble is one of Europe's leading contemporary dance companies. The Danskompani programs almost exclusively new works which are specially created for them in Gothenburg in close collaboration with renowned choreographers.

A group of young men who are friends can be compared to a pack of puppies: playful, powerful and exuberant, they compete, argue and form alliances. In Hofesh Shechter's dance piece Uprising, boundaries are repeatedly tested and yet a clear sense of togetherness is the basis of the playful test of strength. The drive that develops in Uprising allows the group to climb many peaks and the power of friendship and community gives wings. The pulsating percussion music was composed by the choreographer himself.

From England with Love is an ode to this intricate and beautiful country. Through Shechter’s choreography, the dancers evoke the paradox at the heart of this open, generous and soul – searching place, conflicted by its dark history and powerful attachment to old traditions. They draw us into their search for identity and self-knowledge as they grapple with this complex system of values. Performed to a rich score that combines the breath-taking sounds of English composers, presented in a clash with raging rock alongside echoes of choir and electronics in an avant-garde cacophony.
