Unfinished Business/Buzzing Round the Hunnisucle/Rumours, Visions
Unfinished Business is danced to Mozart's beautiful and flowing unfinished piano sonata Opus K533, and Gigue in D, accompanied by a live pianist. In Buzzing Round the Hunnisucle, Alston combines two contrasting pieces of music by Kondo in a dance of nimble and breathtaking precision. The bill is completed by a revival of Rumours, Visions, Alston's interpretation of Britten's song cycle, Les Illuminations, set to the poems of radical Arthur Rimbaud, in Britten's centenary year.
