In a career still only ten years old, Hofesh Shechter's inimitable brand of epic, cinematic and powerfully tribal choreography has become a genre unto itself - a blend of pulverising rock, skittering folk dance and haunting imagery that has redefined the boundaries of dance. A former drummer and rock musician, Shechter composes the propulsive soundtracks that drive his works, making for a closely bound marriage of sound and movement.

A remarkable coproduction between Melbourne Festival and Hofesh Shechter Company (Uprising, In your rooms, Political Mother), alongside some of the world's renowned dance venues, Sun sees Shechter newly emboldened and ambitious. The movements of his 14 virtuosic dancers still resonate with the grounded power of his earlier works, but here too is a brightness and vitality.

Bringing together the pulsing score, sharp-eyed design and intense physicality that has become his hallmark, Sun is another transcendent offering from an emerging master.
