21/Living Toys/Elsa Canasta
21 - Rambert dancer and choreographer Rafael Bonachela has collaborated with Kylie Minogue] and her creative team to produce a work that explores pure physical expression and the meaning of celebrity and adoration.
Living ToysKarole Armitage's first work for Rambert,
Living Toys transports us into that precarious state where dreams and consciousness merge. Inspired by Thomas Ades's somewhat sinister and surreal score of the same title,
Living Toys is performed by all of Rambert's 22 dancers and accompanied by London Musici.
Elsa Canasta is the second work to be created for Rambert by Javier De Frutos and is performed to music and songs by the ever-popular Cole Porter, including a rare score Porter wrote in 1923. With a cast of 14 dancers, the timeless ambiguity of Porter's compositions is the trigger for Javier's personal choreographic response.
