Grand Finale is presented in association with Hofesh Shechter Company.
Three of today's most sought-after choreographers, together in one performance.
In Untitled Black, Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar combine physical virtuosity and emotional intensity, organic dynamics and movements with a futuristic edge. Rain Dogs by Johan Inger, set to the music of Tom Waits's album of the same name, becomes a metaphor for disorientation and uncertainty — a “slippery identity crisis” that evolves into an existential condition. Grand Finale by Hofesh Shechter plays with the interplay of light and shadow to portray a world caught in its own contradictions, at once in a trance, in free fall and desperately trying to escape its fate.
A compelling challenge for the company, which is closely linked to the École de Danse de Genève and has been training young dancers for over forty years.
