Enter the heart of the creation and discover the artists at work!

The Paris National Opera offers Arop members the privilege of observing the work of the artists and the genesis of a production at different times: work sessions, pre-dress rehearsals and dress rehearsals.

HOFESH SHECHTER

After The Art of Not Looking Back (that entered the Paris Opera Ballet’s repertoire in 2018) Hofesh Shechter has been passing on two new pieces to the dancers of the Company: Uprising (2006) and In your rooms (2007). Two creations of his youth in which we already feel the choreographer’s style: an earth-bound, trance-like dance where rhythm holds a central place.

Uprising gathers seven men, springing to full light and moved by a motion which drives them always further, until they step back in the shadows. In your rooms moves nine performers to an enchanting dance set to a music composed by Hofesh Shechter himself, which reflects the core DNA of his kinetic vision of movement. A performance bringing together an electric dance, a powerful staging and live music.
