Event details
CONTEMPORARY DANCE 2.0. by Hofesh Shechter (Gauthier Dance Company)
This piece is made for young people to fall in love with dance! Off to a flying start: From its sudden opening, this choreography proves as overpowering as a great piece of cinema. Driven by the pure rapture of movement and, as always, Hofesh Shechter’s own unmistakable sound, the dancers quickly surrender themselves to an almost hypnotic flow – and so does the audience. What unfolds in the course of the next hour is conveyed in the title of the piece: contemporary dance in its purest form and 2.0, on the next level. The electronic soundtrack and the shifting groups of dancers, which are constantly reforming as if in a kaleidoscope, are more reminiscent of a rave than a stage piece. While still distinctly Shechter, this piece is less burdened by heavy socio-political subtext, offering a more accessible and exhilarating experience. This time Shechter has created an essence of the most precious kind: dance and nothing but dance.
