Hofesh Shechters opwindende, nieuwe avondvullende werk voor Shechter II, IN THE BRAIN, is een rauwe, elektrische duik in beweging, ritme en collectieve energie. Een pulserende, urgente reis naar de diepten van ons bewustzijn – waar verhalen vervagen, identiteit oplost en alleen de beat overblijft.
Tot leven gebracht door de krachtige, onstuitbare energie van Shechter II, is IN THE BRAIN een plek om los te breken. Om jezelf te verliezen. Om je over te geven aan de roes van beweging, het gewicht van de bas en de euforie van lichamen die samensmelten in Shechters kenmerkende groove.
Deels rave. Deels ritueel. Hier dansen de performers niet alleen – ze ontketenen. Ze belichamen het ritme, doorbreken de grens tussen podium en publiek en trekken je mee in een koortsachtige, allesomvattende ervaring die naar meer doet verlangen.
Ontwikkeld vanuit CAVE, een korter werk dat oorspronkelijk werd geproduceerd door de Martha Graham Company en Studio Simkin en het nachtleven en menselijke samenkomst via dans en haar transcendente kwaliteit verkende, bouwt IN THE BRAIN hierop voort. Het transformeert het theater tot een fysieke, hoogspannende viering van beweging, muziek en pure, ongefilterde energie.
Over Hofesh Shechter
‘The mighty contemporary choreographer – a combination of dance-maker and rock-star, but with film-director sensibilities.’ - The Times
‘One of the British dance scene’s hottest properties, the creator of works that are full of raw, visceral energy, set to blasting percussive scores that he composes himself.’ - New York Times
Brought to life by the fierce, unstoppable energy of Shechter II, IN THE BRAIN is a space to break free. To lose yourself. To surrender to the rush of movement, the weight of bass, and the euphoria of bodies locked in Shechter’s signature groove.
Part rave. Part ritual. Here, the dancers don’t just perform - they unleash. They embody the rhythm, shattering the barrier between stage and audience, pulling you into a fevered, all-consuming experience that leaves you craving more.
Developed from CAVE, a shorter work originally produced by Martha Graham Company and Studio Simkin, which explored nightlife and human gathering through dance and its transcendental quality, IN THE BRAIN builds on this, transforming the theatre into a visceral, high-voltage celebration of movement, music, and pure, unfiltered energy.
