Rambert Dance Company
Comedy of Change Tour 2009
Thursday 12th November – Saturday 14th November
Live music by the Rambert Orchestra
“As near-perfect an evening of modern dance as mere mortals can expect” – Sunday Express
Rambert Dance Company returns to the Theatre Royal following five sell-out performances in 2008. The Company’s twenty-two dancers are among the finest and most versatile in the world and, with uplifting live music superbly enhancing the Rambert experience, this autumn’s programme is more thrilling and diverse than ever before.
After the universal successes of Constant Speed (2005) and Eternal Light (2008), Artistic Director Mark Baldwin creates a brand new work that will tantalise the senses and stimulate the mind. Commemorating Charles Darwin year, Comedy of Change is set to a specially-commissioned score by renowned British composer Julian Anderson and designed by one of the leading lights of Paris’ contemporary art scene, Kader Attia. It skilfully blends dance and science into a stunning, witty and striking performance.
Two further and equally breathtaking works include Siobhan Davies’ delightful five star Carnival of the Animals and a new piece by Nigerian/Welsh choreographer Henri Oguike, described by The Daily Telegraph as “one of Britain’s juiciest young talents”.
Commissioned by the Darwin Festival for Shrewsbury Theatre Severn.
