Part of #HOFEST London, Sep - Oct 2015 - [ Ссылка ]

Hofesh Shechter’s Political Mother was declared an ‘audio visual marvel’ after its premiere in 2010. Shechter revamped and reworked it into a bigger, louder work for 40 dancers and musicians and it is this version, Political Mother: The Choreographer’s Cut, which the company now presents at O2 Academy Brixton for the first time.

Bringing the atmosphere of a rock gig, and brimming with gritty and emotional complexity, this extraordinary dance work is an experience like no other.

The piece will be performed with a live band of guitarists, drummers and strings alongside the dancers of Hofesh Shechter Company in one of London’s most iconic music venues.
