Details

In this heartbreaking story, two sisters - Aisha and Abhaya - are refugees who have fled their homes and find themselves in a new world. The ballet explores their struggle to survive having been separated from their family. Aisha and Abhaya is a modern fairytale that combines visually stunning film with striking choreography, performed by Rambert, Britain's foremost contemporary dance company. A feast for the senses with beautifully lavish costumes, this new creation by director Kibwe Tavares brings together the work of choreographer Sharon Eyal and music by rising star GAIKA.
