Rian - T2126974868Described as "one of the most daring and highly original dance theatre companies in the world" (The Times) Fabulous Beast makes its second visit of the season to Sadler's Wells for Sadler's Sampled with Rian, a celebration of Ireland's roots and traditions which recently received a Bessie award for Outstanding Production. Choreographer and founding director of Fabulous Beast Michael Keegan-Dolan is a Sadler's Wells Associate Artist, and has established a reputation for his dynamic and innovative approach to theatre. In one of his most celebrated works, he collaborates with one of Ireland's most successful musicians Liam O Maonla? of Hothouse Flowers, drawing inspiration from O Maonlai's 2005 solo album Rian, which means 'mark' or 'trace' in Irish. A moving and uplifting experience, Rian sees Keegan-Dolan and the cast of eight dancers and five musicians tap into Irish traditions with influences from faraway places to evoke a timeless vision of the real indescribable nature of things. Set to O Maonlai's beautiful score, which mixes Irish sounds with elements of world music, Rian "has a shared, spontaneous warmth... It really does feel like a party on stage" (The Independent). | |

The Rite of Spring/Petrushka - T01451350411Keegan-Dolan reimagines his Olivier-nominated version of The Rite of Spring, which premiered at the London Coliseum in 2009 to great critical acclaim. Named as one of a few accounts that has truly realised Stravinsky's vision alongside those of Vaslav Nijinsky, Kenneth MacMillan, Pina Bausch and L?onide Massine, it has been described as "inspired" (The Times). The evening is completed by Keegan-Dolan's new interpretation of Petrushka, composed by Stravinsky in 1911. Performed by the exquisite dancers of Fabulous Beast, both pieces together create an intoxicating double bill of dance theatre that honours the searing modernity of Stravinsky's music. Running time: 1hr 40mins (including one 20min interval)Presented byDance Touring Partnership. Choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan. Music Stravinsky. | |
