Further UK tour dates announced for Hofesh Shechter’s Double Murder

Further UK tour dates have been announced for Hofesh Shechter’s Double Murder.

Double Murder is a thrilling new double bill by internationally celebrated choreographer Hofesh Shechter, presented as two distinctly contrasting pieces for our times – Clowns and The Fix.

Following a recent run in London, the show is currently touring across Europe as part of an extensive international tour. In 2022 Double Murder will return to the UK performing at Brighton Festival (7-8 May) before culminating at HOME, Manchester (22 – 25 June).

Double Murder features choreography & music by Hofesh Shechter, lighting design on The Fix by Tom Visser, costume design on The Fix by Peter Todd, lighting design on Clowns by Lee Curran and is performed by Hofesh Shechter Company.

Hofesh Shechter said: “I am very excited to bring Double Murder to Brighton Festival and HOME next year. It’s been two years in waiting and coming back to these theatres is a special moment for us all – these are theatres that have a deep-rooted connection to my company and my work, a connection I am eager to share with our audiences again through Clowns and The Fix.

“We live in a very different time now, yet those first sparks generated within the creation studio in 2019 – the sense that hope was our most valuable currency, has never left us. We experienced powerful things in the studio, and now we are putting it raw on stage in order to share and preserve that power and reignite that hope’

With a sarcastic nod to our ever-growing indifference to violence, Clowns unleashes a whirlwind of choreographed anarchy, asking how far are we willing to go in the name of entertainment.

Shechter’s new creation, The Fix, brings a tender, fragile energy to the stage. It offers a human, raw and compassionate moment where violence, tenderness and hope are all laid bare through Shechter’s achingly beautiful, cinematic lens.

Performed by ten of his inimitable dancers and accompanied by the epic sounds of a Shechter-composed score, Double Murder will expose painful truths and delve into our deepest emotions.
