Silver Veiled is a video work that originates from the research material of the choreographic diptych AeReA | Ara! Ara! Created in dialogue with the architecture, the use of the flag is central to the structure of the work. A series of unveilings unfold, evoking the close and ancient brotherhood between two textile objects: flag and shroud. The drapes are presented in a silvery grey, cleaned of symbols and coats of arms until they expose their plastic, invented essence — a blank canvas without connotations where anything can emerge, begin, or disappear.

Hofesh Shechter’s iconic stage work Political Mother explodes onto the screen as an unplugged, unapologetic, and exhilarating new short film. From behind the lens, Shechter brings Battersea Arts Centre's imposing architecture and intimate spaces center stage, immersing audiences within a fragile world of raw emotions as a group of individuals struggle against the complex structures that define their world and ours. Directed, choreographed, composed, and filmed by Hofesh Shechter, Political Mother: The Final Cut brings fresh dance energy to the screen, performed by Shechter II, a new generation of exciting world-class dancers.
