Премьера спектакля состоялась в Театре де ля Вилль (Париж), показывалась на таких площадках как Сэдлерс-Уэллс (Лондон), а фестиваль Context. Diana Vishneva станет уникальной возможностью увидеть его перед тем, как он покинет репертуар компании. Несмотря на то, что показы пройдут в известных театрах Москвы и Санкт-Петербурга, можно с уверенностью сказать, что искусная работа израильского хореографа и его труппы заставит зрителя забыть о том, где происходит действие. Хофеш Шехтер — один из важнейших хореографов в современном танце, его работы отличаются зрелищностью и виртуозным использованием спецэффектов, расширяя границы и обогащая возможности хореографии.

’Grand Finale was quite simply one of the most astonishing performances of dance I have seen in the last 30 years.’ (Audience member) Internationally celebrated choreographer Hofesh Shechter’s latest work, Grand Finale, is a spectacularly bold and ambitious new piece featuring our exceptional ensemble of dancers and a live band of musicians. Grand Finale is at once comic, bleak and beautiful, evoking a world at odds with itself, full of anarchic energy and violent comedy. Filtering this irrepressible spirit, Shechter creates a vision of a world in freefall: part gig, part dance, part theatre and wholly original. The company’s diverse tribe of extraordinary international dancers come from 9 different countries. They are Robinson Cassarino, Chien-Ming Chang, Frédéric Despierre, Rachel Fallon, Mickaël Frappat, Natalia Gabrielczyk, Yeji Kim, Kim Kohlmann, Erion Kruja, Attila Ronai, Hannah Shepherd with Associate Director Bruno Guillore. Grand Finale premiered at La Villette Paris with Théâtre de la Ville on 14 June 2017.
