Production:: Volumina/Such Longing/About Face (T02098294090)
In
Volumina Alston's brand new work, the air is filled with ghostly and subtle rustlings and suddenly erupting note-clusters. Legeti's cavernous organ-piece thunders round the dancers, who dark back and forth half-hidden in the shadows -
Volumina is both spectacular and mysterious.
Such Longing is played live to the achingly beautiful meditations of Chopin's
Nocturnes and
Etudes. Filled with melancholy and nostalgia for his Polish homeland, this is Chopin in lyrical and introspective mood.
About-Face is company dancer Martin Lawrance's first commission for the Company. It captures the simplicity yet also the intricacy of Marin Marais' Suite dans un Goût Etranger, sublime seventeenth century music for viols.
