Hofesh Shechter has become one of the top new names in the world of dance since relocating from Israel to England a decade ago. But while the star choreographer insists his work is apolitical, his experience of the realities of life in Israel can’t help but emerge in the mix. His first full-length piece, “Political Mother,” which makes its United States premiere at Royce Hall on Oct. 19 and 20, examines tensions between the state and society as a samurai commits ritual hara kiri, a dictator shouts guttural commands and drone-like laborers slave.
