This collaboration between internationally acclaimed composer Mark-Anthony Turnage, Olivier Award-winning choreographer Wayne McGregor and Turner Prize-winning visual artist Mark Wallinger marks the first new work in Sadler’s Wells Composer Series. This two part evening, with an orchestra conducted by Tim Murray, will feature a new staging of Turnage’s emotional chamber opera Twice Through the Heart, written for mezzo-soprano and 16 instrumentalists. Wayne McGregor will direct Sarah Connolly in the role of a woman who is jailed for killing her abusive husband, with design by digital art-collective The Open Ended Group. The second part of the evening will feature a brand new choreographic work performed by the dancers of Wayne McGregor ¦ Random Dance with lighting by Lucy Carter, costumes by Moritz Junge and a visual world created by Mark Wallinger. A true collaboration, Turnage’s new score for the piece has been inspired by a text written by Wallinger, which was in turn inspired by American sculptor Richard Serra’s Compilation of Verbs and the work of photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge.
