Production details
Deloitte Ignite returns for its second year with a contemporary arts festival curated not by a single artist but by an entire magazine.
Time Out will curate the festival filling the Royal Opera House with gigs, video art, exuberant fashion, site-specific theatre, comedy, cabaret, dance, film and surprise events. The Royal Opera House has invited
Time Out and its Editors to explore the traditions and heritage of the building and its arts forms and create a festival of work that explodes preconceptions and delivers an alternative view of opera and ballet. The Deloitte Ignite 09 line-up features a lying down classical music concert, specially commissioned work from artist Kathleen Herbert theatre company Dreamthinkspeak, interactive work from choreographic and dance artists Angela Woodhouse and Ben Wright, Cabaret performers Jonny Woo and Bourgeois & Maurice, with surprise events from theatre makers Chris Coode, Will Tuckett and Adrian Lee plus guest appearances from comedians and new magic rising stars including Chris Cox. These are just a few of the artists in a programme that will unfold throughout the summer.
