After The Art of Not Looking Back, which entered the Paris Opera Ballet's repertoire in 2018, Hofesh Shechter is passing on two new pieces to the company's dancers: Uprising (2006) and In your rooms (2007), which, with their spectacular staging, offer the audience particularly powerful experiences. The choreographer discusses the obsessions at the heart of these ballets: the sometimes violent human relationships within a group and the ways in which often contradictory energies are organised. Shechter evokes the gestural signature of each piece: the animal side of the boys searching for each other in Uprising, and the smallness of the isolated individual in In your rooms.
