Hofesh Shechter company brings the Olivier-Nominated Theatre of Dreams to Salford’s Lowry this October

Hofesh Shechter’s Olivier Award-nominated production Theatre of Dreams will be arriving in Salford’s Lowry from Friday 24^th to Saturday 25^th October.

This critically acclaimed hit show 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 theatre of dreams.

The production opened in Paris at Théâtre de la Ville ahead of its sold-out UK premiere at Sadler’s Wells before an extensive international tour.

Through Hofesh’s ever-unfolding choreography, the show delves 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.

The dancers’ bodies will bring to life on stage this interplay between poetry and reality, accompanied by live musicians and Shechter’s trademark cinematic composition. Hofesh will reunite with creative collaborators from previous productions: Tom Visser for lighting design (Grand Finale, The Fix, Contemporary Dance 2:0, Wild Poetry and From England with Love) and Osnat Kelner for costumes (Contemporary Dance 2:0 and Wild Poetry).

Commissioned by Théâtre de la Ville, Paris. Co-commissioned by Sadler’s Wells, Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival, Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg, Seongnam Arts Center/Seongnam Cultural Foundation, Danse Danse Montréal, MC2 : Maison de la Culture de Grenoble – Scène nationale, Ruhrfestspiele Recklinghausen, Central – La Louvière, Théâtre Sénart – Scène Nationale,  Torinodanza Festival / Teatro Stabile di Torino – Teatro Nazionale, Festspielhaus St. Pölten (AT), La Comédie de Clermont-Ferrand scène nationale, Maison de la danse, Lyon – Pôle européen de création, Les Gémeaux – Scène Nationale de Sceaux, Château Rouge, scène conventionnée – Annemasse, Châteauvallon-Liberté, scène nationale, Le Carré Sainte-Maxime with support from Theater Rotterdam, Les Salins – Scène Nationale de Martigues, Marche Teatro / Inteatro Festival and La Briqueterie CDCN du Val-de -Marne.
