Opernhaus, ZürichForsythe, Clug, Lightfoot /León |
Ballett Zürich |
![]() | ||
| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Tuesday 21-May-13 07:00pm Forsythe, Clug, Lightfoot /León The second ballet evening of this season is characterised by a sense of inner drama. It combines two milestones of recent ballet history with a new creation, and offers the opportunity to witness the combination of three fascinating dance languages in one evening. The American William Forsythe has influenced and shaped ballet in the second half of the 20th century like no other choreographer. In his work, he explores and crosses the boundaries of dance as an art form, time and again. In New Sleep, created in 1987 for the San Francisco Ballet, three clown-like figures – accompanied by electronic music by Thom Willems – fall under the spell of a yardstick, a potted plant and a collection of bowling balls.
For the first time, Zurich Ballet will be working with the Romanian choreographer Edward Clug, who rose to international fame primarily thanks to his ballet Radio and Juliet, a modern interpretation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet set to the music of the rock band Radiohead. Clug’s pieces, which enchant audiences with their often absurd tempi and their wealth of choreographic detail, have been performed in Lisbon, Zagreb, Essen and at the Stuttgart Ballet, among other locations.
Having thrilled audiences in Zurich in 2004 with their furiously witty choreography, Skew Whiff, choreographers Lightfoot/León now present their ballet Sleight of Hand. The Englishman Paul Lightfoot and the Spanish woman Sol León met in 1987 in the ensemble of the Nederlands Dans Theaters (NDT) and are among the internationally most sought-after choreographers. They have succeeded Hans van Manen and Jiří Kylián as representatives of modern dance in the Netherlands. Paul Lightfoot took over the directorship of the NDT in the 2011/12 season. In the mysterious darkness of Sleight of Hand an encrypted fantasy unfurls; its dance and theatrical roots lie in the story of a family fraught with conflict. The title, Sleight of Hand, is a reference to the art of card-playing. | ||

| Sadler's Wells: Peacock Theatre, London, Portugal Street, Holborn, London WC2 2HT, United Kingdom Tuesday 21-May-13 07:30pm ZooNation Dance Company — Some Like It Hip Hop ZooNation’s Some Like It Hip Hop has been a runaway success since it hit the Peacock Theatre in 2011, wowing audiences and prompting widespread critical praise with five-star reviews and standing ovations. After a second successful run and celebrating the company’s tenth anniversary at Sadler’s Wells last year, Some Like It Hip Hop returns to the Peacock Theatre to kick-start the summer. Fast becoming a modern classic, Some Like It Hip Hop unites truly sensational dancing and a typically clever and engrossing storyline with infectious “wit, heart and magnificent energy” (The Independent). With a nod to Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot and Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, it tells a comical tale of love, mistaken identity, cross-dressing and revolution, all played out in ZooNation’s trademark style of hip hop, comedy and physical theatre. Directed by Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Kate Prince, Some Like It Hip Hop also features a ground-shaking original soundtrack, live singing and some of the UK’s top hip hop dance talent. | ||
