Recalling flickering flames or dead leaves in a whirlwind, ten bodies appear on stage immersed in mist, entangled or scattered like a fickle substance. Huge slabs, similar to imposing gravestones, are pushed around, creating different shapes and casting long, menacing shadows on the floor. The pace is relentless and often jars with the eerie melody executed live on stage by the six-strong orchestra.
In Hofesh Shechter's apocalyptic masterpiece, life and death coexist and are translated into a thundering compound of sound and movement. Putting physical force at the centre of the work, the choreographies are raw, intense and impeccably executed by the diverse ensemble of performers, cherry picked from all over the world.
