Grand Finale

The dance pieces by Hofesh Shechter Company are explosions of imagery and sound and Grand Finale is no exception. Part gig, part dance, part theatre and wholly original – there is no better way to describe the latest work of internationally acclaimed choreographer Hofesh Shechter. The London-based Israeli choreographer is considered one of the most important representatives of contemporary dance in Europe.

Spectacularly bold and ambitious, Grand Finale is at once comic, bleak and beautiful, evoking a world at odds with itself, full of anarchic energy and violent comedy. Filtering this irrepressible spirit, Shechter creates a vision of a world in free fall, featuring an exceptional ensemble of dancers and a live band of musicians.

‘"The mighty contemporary choreographer – a combination of dance-maker and rock-star, but with film-director sensibilities." The Times
