Lyrikal Fearta - The Letter & Broken Lineage

Work:: Lyrikal Fearta (S0741295771)

Production:: The Letter & Broken Lineage (T0494840638)

Sadler's Wells Associate Artist Jonzi D presents a double bill, including his acclaimed solo work The Letter, after its explosive debut last year. In addition, the evening also features a top guest hip hop artist, and Jonzi presents a new work, continuing his three decades as a pioneering creative voice in hip hop dance theatre. The Letter explores the responses to Jonzi being offered an MBE. Using choreopoetry he paints a picture of "stunning, rhythmical clarity" (The Stage), looking at this sensitive subject matter through the eyes of an animated cast of characters. The Letter is accompanied by a commissioned score played live by member of the Speakers Corner Quartet Kwake Bass. The evening also features a newly commissioned piece, exploring the broken lineage between the old skool and new skool hip hop generations, bringing Jonzi's unique perspective to evolving social issues. An exciting collaboration with Ivan Blackstock, of BirdGang Dance Company, it promises to captivate audiences with Jonzi's trademark wit, humour and style. Running time: 70mins
