Details

UK Premiere. Puz/zle is the brand new work from Sadler's Wells Associate Artist, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. Puz/zle questions the seeming importance of order and linearity, and explores if there is more than one way of solving a puzzle, telling a tale and simply living. Working closely with past musical collaborators - Corsican polyphonic group A Filetta, Lebanese singer Fadia Tomb El-Hage and Japanese musician Kazunari Abe - Cherkaoui dissects the form of composition and identifies the various themes that can shape a song. Cherkaoui also teams up with long-time collaborator Damien Jalet, set designer Filip Peeters and costume designer Miharu Toriyama to create this long-awaited piece performed by 11 extraordinary dancers from his Eastman company. Running time: 1hr 55mins
