Political Mother: Derry~Londonderry Uncut is a vision of oppression, survival, resistance and existence. It's a massive slab of heavy rock riffs, booming drums, fast-cut cinematic lighting and committed, inspired dancing. Images of mass hysteria and mindless obedience are interspersed with brief moments of tenderness and humanity.

Hofesh Shechter is recognised as one of the UK's most exciting contemporary artists, with his company touring worldwide to critical acclaim. A former drummer in a rock band, Shechter is renowned for creating the musical scores for his dance creations with his raw, atmospheric music, complementing his Company's unique physicality.

Political Mother: Derry Londonderry Uncut brings the atmosphere of a rock concert, brimming with the gritty and emotional complexity of Shechter's extraordinary dance work.

Political Mother: Derry Londonderry Uncut has been specially commissioned by LIFT and Culture Company 2013. Drawing upon Derry's rich musical culture, it will feature a live band of more than 30 musicians, including young musicians from the city alongside the international musicians and 16 dancers of the Hofesh Shechter Company. This 'gig' marks the beginning of a longer-term partnership between the company, LIFT and artists from Derry~Londonderry.:
