Dance

Celebrate the end of the world with this exhilarating, wholly original dance and music experience.

On the edge of oblivion, a company of incredible dancers hurl themselves into a spectacular freefall.

This is revolutionary choreographer Hofesh Shechter’s vision of a society on the brink of collapse: a bizarre, beautiful abyss bristling with anarchic energy and violent comedy.

Part dance, part theatre, part intoxicating gig, Grand Finale brilliantly captures the precariousness of 21st-century living through rapturous live music (composed by Shechter, performed live by an on-stage band) and furiously choreographed movement – a pulsating combination that will leave you breathless.

Performed on a cinematic set designed around transforming monoliths and intense claustrophobic spaces, and brimming with Shechter’s emotionally electrifying style, this fierce new work is the dance ensemble’s boldest creation yet. Join their apocalyptic revelry in the dance event to end all events.
