Nearly Ninety

UK Premiere. Nearly Ninety is an enthralling work which premiered in New York on Merce Cunningham’s 90th birthday and is accompanied by a score composed by Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, indie rock legends Sonic Youth and mixed-media sound artist Takehisa Kosugi. This futuristic piece which features décor by architect Benedetta Tagliabue, boldly combines elements of dance, design, video, lighting and live music to create a visionary and powerful performance. Cunningham’s stunning company of dancers move fluidly between solos, duets and ensemble groupings with controlled precision and a haunting beauty, detaching and reconnecting with each other. This final masterpiece is testament to the boundless imagination of a man, who at 90 was still creating innovative work that challenges audiences’ preconceptions about dance and music.
