Hofesh Shechter Company Barbarians 10-11 March 2017

Programme

Finally, the acclaimed company Hofesh Shechter comes to Stockholm. To pumping bass and disco smoke they present the trilogy. Barbarians on our big stage. The acclaimed The barbarians in love begins the evening. Six figures dressed in white move in a controlled and practised manner to the sound of eclectic baroque music. Like a bunch of 19th century aristocratic rogues, transported to a sweaty club in Brixton. "We Are Not Alone" they bellow in desperation - as if to convince themselves.

This is followed by two completely different works. Firstly tHE bAD - a volatile explosion of golden full-body socks and dubstep rhythms. Both joyful and trance-like at the same time. And finally, an intense love duet in lederhosen and a Tyrolean hat: Two completely different angles of the same fucking thing. A vibrant full evening with one of Britain's most idiosyncratic, unpredictable and hyped choreographers.
