Details
The London Ballet Company is comprised of International dancers from world renowned ballet and dance institutions. It is our vision to bring the highest quality of dance performance to intimate venues throughout the UK and further afield, in order to reach those who might not have previously experienced this wonderful and powerful art form. The Company's repertoire is modern and distinctive, comical, expressive and dynamic, allowing the audience to appreciate the athlete in the grace of its dancers. It is our aim to broaden the boundaries of ballet performance and we are committed to nurturing both our own and International dancers and choreographers, who will deliver world class dance performance, rooted in a strong classical technique. The London Ballet Company's production starkly portrays the havoc wreaked by global war on ordinary people. Seen through the innocent eyes of the child Poppy, we follow a family struggling to come to terms with the cataclysmic turn of events of 1914, as they seek to do their duty and rally to their nations cause. The turmoil of family life forever changed, innocence lost, Poppy remains, like the flower for whom she was named, a symbol of hope and of remembrance.
