The Forsythe Company (Germany) - Sider

Information for The Forsythe Company (Germany) - Sider at Sadler's Wells Theatre, Inner London (Dance or ballet). William Forsythe is recognised as one of the world's foremost contemporary choreographers. His work is best known for reorientating the practice of ballet from its identification with classical repertoire to a dynamic 21st century art form. UK Premiere. The rhythmical inflections of Elizabethan theatre, like those of classical dance, have been sustained by a tradition of transmission from performer to performer for over 400 years. In Sider, these intricate patterns of speech are communicated to the performers via the soundtrack of a filmed version of a late 16th century tragedy. The adherence of the performers' actions to this vocal score instigates disquieting configurations of incongruous musicality that underscore the drama's themes of analogy and obscuration. Running time: 1hr 5mins (no interval)
