The young dancers of Shechter II pour all their fire and talent into this show, somewhere between a rave and a ritual: a euphoric experience for every sense, where the beat alone rules. With IN THE BRAIN, Hofesh Shechter creates a thrilling new work for the company's eight performers, aged 18 to 25 — a raw, electrifying dive into movement, rhythm and collective energy. An urgent journey deep into our consciousness, where stories dissolve, identity fades, and only the rhythm remains.
The show grows out of CAVE, a shorter piece Shechter created for the Martha Graham Company in 2022, which explored nightlife and human gatherings through a trance-like kind of dance. IN THE BRAIN builds on that idea to turn the stage into a visceral, high-voltage celebration of movement, music and pure energy.
