Take a wild headfirst dive into the Theatre of Dreams.

Returning to Sadler’s Wells, this mesmerising work delves deep into the world of fantasy and the subconscious, revealing fears, hopes, desires and a web of emotions. Emotions that not only possess our dreaming minds but also our waking thoughts. From this uncontrollable wave of chaotic emotions and surreal events emerges a strange sense of clarity and reality.

The dancers’ bodies will bring to life on stage this interplay between poetry and reality, accompanied by live musicians and Shechter’s trademark cinematic sound-score. Sadler’s Wells Assosciate Artist Hofesh Shechter reunites with lighting designer, Tom Visser, to create a powerful, sculptured space to this dreamscape.
