Nearly 30 years after its premiere, Sadler's Wells is proud to present this seminal piece performed by one of Europe's most respected dance companies, Royal Ballet of Flanders. A ballet in four parts, Artifact features music by J.S. Bach and scenography, lighting, costumes and choreography all by William Forsythe.

Romeo and Juliet - T1495782237Inspired by the talents of this young and dynamic company, Prokovsky presents a fast-moving version of [Shakespeare]’s classic story of Verona’s star-crossed lovers, reducing it to two acts and focusing specifically on Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio and Tybalt. The dancers are light, fleet of foot and stylish. With [Prokofiev]’s exquisite score performed by the [Royal Ballet Sinfonia] and [Alexandre Vassilev]’s Rennaissance costumes, this is a romantic yet poignant variation on an old favourite.Choreographer Andre Prokovsky.

Not Strictly Rubens - T01842756840The double bill Not Strictly Rubens links ballet with the visual arts. Inspired by the linear compositions of [Mondrian], Syposium was set for the company by New York choreographer [Christopher d'Ambrose] to music by [Leonard Bernstein]. As a counterpoint to this neoclassic work, Rubens is conceived by Flemish choreographer [Marc Bogaerts] as a metphor for creative man and the act of creation. The piece brings together an apt team of cutting edge professionals including pop and dance phenomenom [Praga Khan], who have been commissioned to create a new score, the Antwerp fashion king [Walter Van Beirendonck] and the French lighting and stage designer [Philippe Arlaud].Choreographer Christopher d'Amboise (Symposium).
