    The work examines and celebrates life – even when it is not easy to digest. It lets us experience the rich, percussive language of movement Zelner has developed and honed, and offers glimpses into the creation of a new dance style that invites audiences into a daring and delightful world full of wonder.

    Clowns

    Hofesh Shechter

    2024

    British-Israeli Hofesh Shechter is one of England’s most acclaimed artists. In Clowns, his first creation for NDT 1, Shechter explores the boundary between humour and cruelty. Set to stirring, hypnotic rhythms from music composed by Shechter himself, the dancers depict an explosion of energy, in which playfulness seemingly transforms into fighting and shooting. With Clowns, Shechter succeeds in gripping the audience from the very first moment and never letting go.

    FIT

    Alexander Ekman

    2018

    Ekman’s FIT (2018) is a playful and dynamic exploration of what it truly means to 'fit in'—what happens when the pieces of life’s puzzle align, and what unfolds when they don’t.
