Scottish Dance Theatre - The Flock & Moving Cloud

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

In its first performances since earning rave reviews as part of Celtic Connections in 2023, Moving Cloud presents a unique and irresistible fusion of live dance and traditional Scottish folk music. Choreographed by the internationally-acclaimed Sofia Nappi, the production is built around a potent musical score composed by TRIP, LYRE LYRE, Cormac Byrne, Greg Lawson, Charlie Stewart and Innes White. TRIP will perform as part of the opening performance on Friday 24 May, with further live music following the double-bill. Originally created for the National Dance Production of Catalonia, Roser Lopez Espinosa's The Flock draws on the fascinating patterns in the migration of birds. Unfolding from the innate desire to fly, it is an adventure to move on together and reach a shared goal: to fly through immense landscapes, through the vast open sky. As the dancers create murmurations that unfold across the stage an imaginary world of birds and humankind unravels, full of light and vitality. A game of ingenuity to spread our own wings.
