Hofesh Shechter Company

Theatre of Dreams
Hofesh Shechter
Show
2025/2026

High voltage

Acclaimed time and again by Danse Danse audiences, Hofesh Shechter and his formidable tribe take us on a dizzying dive, headfirst, into a fantasy world where dreams and reality collide. Quite an event!

Warning: Includes loud music, haze and a brief scene of nudity.


Hofesh Shechter has been shaking up the dance world for over twenty years with his powerful, visceral works. His latest creation catapults his inimitable dancers into the realm of imagination and the subconscious. What is the strange stuff our illusions are made of? Curtains open and close, revealing scenes of spellbinding surrealism. Theatre of Dreams explores the territory of the in between. Bodies unleashed, between dreams and chimeras, revealing fears, hopes, desires and a myriad of emotions that penetrate not only the dreaming mind but also our waking thoughts. To a percussive soundtrack by Shechter himself, performed live by three musicians, the dance pulses, feverish and wild, under lights sculpted by his long-time collaborator Tom Visser. A dreamlike journey from chaos to beauty.
