On Before
Building on Carlos' astonishing dance vision, On Before tells the story of a doomed relationship between a man and a woman. Created and danced by Carlos and Zenaida Yanowsky, the show combines existing and new choreography by some of the world's leading dance makers, including Russell Maliphant, Kim Brandstrup, Will Tuckett, Edwaard Liang, Yuri Yanowsky and Miguel Altunaga. With a wide ranging score from Handel to new commissions from Cuban composer Omar Puente, the show culminates in a moving finale featuring the live choral work of Morte Lauridsen's O Magnum Mysterium. Running time: approx. 1hr 50mins (inclu. 1 interval) Donald Gordon Theatre
