Theatre of Dreams
In his latest full-length creation, Hofesh Shechter immerses you in a captivating world where reality and fantasy seamlessly blend into one another.
With the raw physical power and complexity of his unparalleled dance language, Shechter, along with his dancers, takes the audience on a rollercoaster ride through the subconscious – a place full of desires, fears, hopes, and chaotic emotions. From that whirlwind emerges an unexpected clarity, as if dreams and reality momentarily touch each other.
The dancers bring this play between poetry and reality to life, supported by live musicians and Shechter's characteristic, cinematic sound score. For this new work, Shechter collaborates once again with lighting designer Tom Visser, who creates a sculptural dream landscape on stage with his powerful scenography.
Collaboration with international top companies
Theatre of Dreams is a co-production with, among others, Théâtre de la Ville (Paris), Sadler’s Wells (London), Brighton Festival, and Theater Rotterdam. Together, they bring this extraordinary performance around the world. After the grand world premiere in Paris and the UK premiere, Tilburg is next. Don’t miss it!
This performance has no interval.
