When the music plays who takes control of your soul? In a cold and dark November something hot and steamy will be occurring at the Horniman Museum. As the musicians begin to play, the tragedies of jealous lovers, unrequited dreamers and greedy good for nothings entwine. Watch as the Magician, his assistant, the artist and his muse fall victim to each other's jealousies and passions Using Tango, the Victorian hothouse and the hours between sleeping and waking, Teatro Vivo will immerse the audience in a world of beautiful anguish and passionate dance. Metamorphosis (the band) led by Jamie Fagg are a collective of professional musicians who want to challenge the traditions of classical music and challenge themselves at the same time. This will be the first time these mainly orchestral musicians will collaborate with actors. Hothouse is funded by Lewisham Arts Service. Performance length: 1 hour - a free tango taster lesson will be offered after each performance.
