FROM ENGLAND WITH LOVE | SHECHTER II

From England with Love is an ode to this intricate and beautiful country. Through Shechter’s choreography, the dancers evoke the paradox at the heart of this open, generous, and soul-searching place, conflicted by its dark history and powerful attachment to old traditions. They draw us into their search for identity and self-knowledge. Performed to a rich score that clashes the breath-taking sounds of English composers with raging rock music alongside echoes of choir and electronics.

Playful and poignant, full of pride and paradox, From England with Love is a farewell note to old England and a peek into the heart and soul of this multifaceted place.
