Details

The enigmatic Coppelia, believed to be the daughter of the reclusive toy-maker Coppelius, sits on her father's balcony, seemingly oblivious to the world around her. Her neighbour, the capricious Swanilda, is angered by Coppelia's aloof attitude, and becomes even more alarmed when her fiance Franz begins to take more than a passing interest in the girl. When she breaks into Coppelius's house to confront her rival, she soon realises that Coppelia is not quite what she seems. A sexy new all male jazz ballet based on Delibes' classic Coppelia, which is partnered with a new piece to the music of Tchaikovsky, The Supermarket Suite. Coppelia and The Supermarket Suite is a double bill of all male jazz ballet. Coppelia's Offie nominated choreography is provided by William Spencer, who will also premiere his new short work The Supermarket Suite in an exciting evening of narrative theatre dance inspired by the music of The Nutcracker, focusing on the everyday comedy we find in our lives. Coppelia is a timeless classical ballet which has been reimagined to showcase 4 phenomenal dancers and set to the backdrop of a 21st century Soho.
