Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui - TeZukA

Work:: Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (S477852515)

Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui is one of Europe's most successful and inventive choreographers. His productions are like voluminous story books, full of quirky, wickedly observed characters, recognisable from real-life scenarios.

Choreographer

Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui

Production:: TeZukA (T1255578808)

Famed for his manga creations including Astro Boy and Buddha, Tezuka s work has become a vital part of Japanese cultural identity. Working with a cast of nine dancers, two musicians, an actor and a calligrapher, all drawn from Europe and Asia, Cherkaoui explores Tezuka s fascinating world - a blend of tradition, science fiction and contemporary reality. TeZukA will feature a specially commissioned score from award-winning composer Nitin Sawhney with lighting and visual design by Willy Cessa, plus projections of Tezuka s original illustrations alongside work by video artist Taki Ueda. Using the dancers movements to trace the physical evolution of Tezuka s drawings - from a line on a blank page to a single Japanese kanji (letter) to a fully-formed manga character - Cherkaoui will bring the God of Manga s philosophy, drawings and characters to life.
