Palais Garnier - from 15 March to 03 April 2022

Synopsis

After The Art of Not Looking Back (that entered the Paris Opera Ballet’s repertoire in 2018) Hofesh Shechter has been passing on two new pieces to the dancers of the Company: Uprising (2006) and In your rooms (2007). Two creations of his youth in which we already feel the choreographer’s style: an earth-bound, trance-like dance where rhythm holds a central place.
Uprising gathers seven men, springing to full light and moved by a motion which drives them always further, until they step back in the shadows. In your rooms moves nine performers to an enchanting dance set to a music composed by Hofesh Shechter himself, which reflects the core DNA of his kinetic vision of movement. A performance bringing together an electric dance, a powerful staging and live music.

The Hofesh Shechter experience

By Solène Souriau

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.
