Ten years on, this is a rare opportunity to see the complete and original commissions of the acclaimed solo show Map. This is an intimate evening with the veteran Hughes, a chance for him to share with you his physical heritage and unrivalled dance experience. Javier De Frutos’ El Uno y Medio casts Hughes as Jason after his estranged wife Medea has murdered their children. Bob Cohan choreographs Adagietto. Hughes steps back in time to the dramatic world of Martha Graham with Cohans’ work based on the betrayal and death of San Sebastian. Siobhan Davies creates L’Apres-Midi d’un Faune, her modern take on the famous Nijinsky Ballet, an exploration of stillness. Christopher Bruce’s Hurricane (A Pantomime) masterfully employs Commedia Dell’ Arte in the examination of the story of American boxer Reuben ‘Hurricane’ Carter.
