The 3 Dancers/Terra Incognita/Frames
Love, desire and betrayal are the ingredients of the shocking true story which inspired Picasso's masterpiece, The Three Dancers. Rambert springs Picasso's painting from the canvas to the stage, bringing to life his vivid Cubist imagery. Didy Veldman's The 3 Dancers, with orchestral music by Elena Kats-Chernin, forms the centrepiece of Rambert's programme for Norwich. The triple bill also features Terra Incognita, created by ground-breaking dancemaker Shobana Jeyasingh. Set to Gabriel Prokofiev's driving score, Rambert's dancers journey to unknown lands in an atmospheric piece that evokes the sense of mystery that inspired ancient sea-farers. The programme is completed by Frames, choreographed by British dance's hottest property Alexander Whitley. Dissecting the process of making theatre, dancers skilfully animate metal structures that grow, transform and combine to create a stage within a stage. Packed with thought-provoking drama, sumptuous live music and world-class dancing, this is Britain's national dance company at its most captivating.
