Political Mother Unplugged

HOME Manchester

Choreography & Music by Hofesh Shechter

Performed by Shechter II

“There is no sitting in thoughtful contemplation at a Shechter gig. For pure, heart-pounding excitement, there is simply no one to touch him.” – Daily Express

When Manchester’s HOME first opened to the public in 2015, the Hofesh Schecter company were the first artists to perform live in the new building.

Now, they’re returning with their apprentice company Schecter II to celebrate a delayed 10^th anniversary tour of their acclaimed classic in a new version for a new era: Political Mother Unplugged.

Political Mother Unplugged will draw you into a world of raw emotion and intense sensations, driven by Shechter’s contagious movement, a new landscape of digital, animated projections and the dancers’ extraordinary skill and honesty.

Performed to a bespoke, new recording of Shechter’s music this will be a dance experience like no other.

"… a noisy, brutal, no-holds-barred attack on power and its destructive, abusive agenda ... delivered like a roar of defiance"

The Times (on the original Political Mother)

Tickets £18.50 full / concessions available
