In your rooms

Performed by Hofesh Shechter Company
Choreography and Music by Hofesh Shechter
Lighting Design by Lee Curran
Costume Design by Elizabeth Barker

In your rooms brims with gritty physicality and is at times provocative, political and deeply personal, presenting a society that is scarily alienating and yet shockingly familiar. Nine dancers reveal shifting motives, lack of control and vulnerabilities through intricate, touching encounters. The work features an original score, created by Hofesh in collaboration with Nell Catchpole (The Gogmagogs). Performed live, Hofesh’s hauntingly beautiful score envelops the stage as the music and dance combine forces to create a truly magical atmosphere.

Produced by London’s three major dance venues, Sadler’s Wells, South Bank Centre and The Place – In your rooms was created in three stages growing to fit the three different venues in turn with the final version playing to sell-out audiences at Sadler’s Wells in September 2007.

In 2014, In your rooms was restaged at Nederlands Dans Theatre.
