Macbeth/Tomorrow/Hydrargyrum
Something wicked this way comes! Rambert celebrates its 90th anniversary in 2016, returning to Bath with a stunning programme of virtuoso dancing and live music, including a new work inspired by Macbeth. Tomorrow is a split-stage experience taking you inside the dark, dangerous world of Shakespeare's hero-turned-villain. Seven eerie ?witches' perform a danse macabre, their sinister, spellbinding movements presented alongside the pivotal moments of the drama. It will make you see the Scottish Play in a whole new light. A giant, revolving mirror hangs over the stage in Hydrargyrum. It offers a different angle to view the dancers as they morph from a powerful-butanonymous group to defiant-but-vulnerable individuals. A third piece looks at the subject of migration. It uses multimedia projections to create an evershifting backdrop as the dancers dramatise the mix of hope and fear that make up the migrant experience of leaving one home to search for another. All three original dance works are packed with powerful images and emotions, making an utterly distinctive and memorable programme from Britain's national dance company.
