Gabriela Carrizo/Jiri Kylian/Cystal Pite and Simon McBurney - T329990728UK Premiere. Across continents, Canadian choreographer Crystal Pite and British theatre director Simon McBurney reflect on their fears and cautious hopes for the age we are living in, with an extract from their new collaboration, Figures in Extinction. These world-renowned artists work together, drawing from materials such as the sound of icecaps melting, tree roots growing, and the protests of climate change deniers. Gods and Dogs is the 100th choreography Jirí Kylián created for NDT. Gods and Dogs is called ‘an unfinished work', referring to Kylián's fascination for the beauty of what is left incomplete in life, and visualizes the line between normality and abnormality. Argentinian choreographer Gabriela Carrizo combines modern dance with acrobatics and slapstick in La Ruta. On a dark, fog-shrouded stage, a street is at once a motorway, a lonely village lane and a forest path. Space and time are suspended, and it is up to the audience to create their own connections. With her experimental style, Carrizo takes us into a parallel dream world open to interpretation. | |

Stop-Motion/Shoot the Moon/The Missing Door Stop-Motion/Shoot the Moon/The Missing Door - T01060441887A surreal Lynchean thriller; a sumptuous meditation on time and memory; an unsettling glimpse into three couples' love lives. All three come together in a powerfully contrasting trio of works ? and all three equally potent in their emotional impact. Heavy with longing and aching vulnerability, the exquisite visual poem Stop-Motion ? by NDT Artistic Director Paul Lightfoot and Artistic Advisor Sol Le?n ? features seven dancers who meet, gather and part, their actions captured on giant video screens. With hypnotic movements amid clouds of chalk dust, it paints an astonishingly beautiful picture of loss and grief, set against deeply melancholic music by Max Richter. Using a gently rippling score by Philip Glass, Shoot the Moon spies on the love lives of three different couples, corralled in tenderness, anger and sadness amid magically transforming rooms. Emotionally charged and full of athletic choreography, this provocative psycho-drama ? also choreographed by Le?n and Lightfoot ? is a tender meditation on love and memory. Bloodstains and contorted bodies, dark visions and writhing clothing all give The missing door its unforgettable sense of wonder and dread. With the dream-like surrealism of a David Lynch movie, Gabriela Carrizo's gripping creation delves deep inside the maze of thoughts of a dying man. Magical and sinister, it's like nothing else in the world of dance.Music Philip Glass (Shoot the Moon). | |
