Dance - Hofesh Schechter, "In the Brain"

Hofesh Shechter is back with Shechter II, his young company of emerging dancers. In *IN THE BRAIN*, a blend of rave party and ritual, the choreographer transforms the stage into a dance floor and immerses us intensely in his unique world.

Fueled by raw energy, eight performers do more than just dance: they free themselves, let go, and move forward together, carried by the power of the bass and a collective trance that infuses every step they take. To the beat of a heady groove, their bodies vibrate and breathe in unison.

For *In the Brain*, Hofesh Shechter drew inspiration from *Cave*, a piece created by the Martha Graham Company that explored nightlife. Here, he takes the experience even further. In this space of freedom, narratives fade away, and identities merge. All that remains is a contagious pulse that sweeps through the theater and carries the audience along on a single wave.
