Dance beyond your wildest dreams.

This new full-length evening will showcase the physicality and complexity of Hofesh Shechter’s choreography and his inimitable dancers, as they take the audience on a wild headfirst dive into the world of dreams.

Through Hofesh’s ever-unfolding choreography, this new work will delve deep into the world of fantasy and the subconscious, revealing fears, hopes, desires and a myriad of emotions that penetrates not only the dreaming mind but also our waking thoughts. From this uncontrollable wave of chaotic emotions and surreal events emerges a strange sense of clarity and reality – the mind is king.

The dancers’ bodies will bring to life on stage this interplay between poetry and reality, accompanied by live musicians and Shechter’s trademark cinematic sound-score. Hofesh will reunite with lighting designer, Tom Visser, to create a powerful, sculptured space to this dreamscape.

Hofesh last appeared on the Sadler’s Wells Theatre stage in 2021 with Double Murder, featuring Clowns and The Fix. Find out more about Hofesh here.
