Early Adventures - Spitfire/Town and Country/The Infernal Galop - T1189292162Spitfire was Bourne's first hit in 1988. Both a celebration of masculine vanity and an affectionate comment on the preening grandeur of the classical male dancer, it hilariously places the most famous 19th Century ballet showstopper in the world of men's underwear advertising and mail order catalogue photography. Town and Country - Remembered as the piece that most crystallized the Bourne style; gloriously witty and ironic but also strangely moving and heartfelt. It explores notions of national character from a bygone era through the evocative music of Edward Elgar, Noel Coward and Percy Grainger, amongst others. This 1991 two part dance revue features a high speed version of the classic film, Brief Encounter, a furtive encounter between two repressed gents, a jolly clog dance with a violent conclusion, a daringly wild ride on children's scooters and an eccentric version of Pomp and Circumstance plated on the ukelele!. The Infernal Galop - A breakthrough hit in 1989, this 'Franglais Spectacular' was inspired by icons of France in the 1930s and 1940s; Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet, Tino Rossi, Jacques Tati etc. Through a series of surprising and saucy vignettes this is France as seen by the uptight English imagination with all the traditional cliches joyously paraded for our entertainment and climaxing in Offenbach's inevitable Can-Can! Running time 2 hrs (including two intervals)Choreographer Matthew Bourne. | |
