On the next 18, 19 and 20 May they will be represented in the Canal Theaters in Madrid, Doble Murder: Clowns / The Fixby the hand of Hofesh Shechter. Event that is scheduled within the 38th edition of the Festival Madrid in Dance.
At the beginning of September of last year I dedicated myself to consulting the programming of various public theaters, which, let’s say, their programming is compatible with my line of work. And of course, as soon as I entered the Teatros del Canal website, I did not hesitate for a minute to mark this appointment on my calendar. Well, regardless of the international recognition of this British company, it is a fact that the energetic and provocative language of their pieces are always an incentive to go see them at the theater, whatever they are going to represent. I really have no words…
And as if the above were not enough, the second piece that the interpreters of Hofesh Shechter, is one that although at first it was thought to be part of the repertoire of Nederlands Dance Theatre 1; Finally, these professionals have created a program that tries to make a contrast between the first piece, Clownsand the second, The Fix.
Without further ado, I refer you to the synopsis of Doble Murder: Clowns/ The Fix:
Double Murder It is made up of two pieces: a classic by the British Hofesh Shechter Company, Clownsmacabre comedy where choreographer Hofesh Shechter winks sarcastically at people’s growing indifference to violence and shows how far it is possible to go in the name of entertainment.
The piece was created for the Nederlands Dans Theater 1 and a filmed version was made of it, which was broadcast by the BBC. the other piece, The Fix, appears as a counterpoint to Clowns. Where in this there is violence in The Fix there is tenderness and fragility. The frantic expression of Clownshis dance, his music, composed by Schechter himself, are softened in this show, which teaches resilience and healing wounds.
