Grand Finale

Choreography & Music: Hofesh Shechter
Set & Costume Design: Tom Scutt
Lighting Design: Tom Visser
Music Collaborators: Nell Catchpole and Yaron Engler

Part gig, part dance, part theatre and wholly original – there is no better way to describe Grand Finale, the internationally acclaimed work by celebrated choreographer Hofesh Shechter.

Spectacularly bold and ambitious, 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, featuring an exceptional ensemble of dancers and a live band of musicians.

Since its premiere in 2017 at La Villette, Paris, with Théâtre de la Ville on 14 June 2017, Grand Finale has toured internationally to audiences around the world and received widespread critical acclaim. In 2018, it was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production and for Outstanding Production in the Bessies, and was named Production of the Year by tanz magazine. In 2019, Grand Finale won a Dora Award for Outstanding Touring Performance and was nominated for Best Dance Production in the Helpmann Awards.

Ten years after its Paris premiere, Grand Finale returns to Théâtre de la Ville – Sarah Bernhardt.
