What's On
A Double Bill
Candoco Dance Company
Experience CandoCo, the leading contemporary dance company of disabled and non-disabled dancers, in new works by top-choreographers Rafael Bonachela and Arthur Pita.
Inspired by country songs, Arthur Pita tells a macabre yet humorous tale of a sticky family situation in The Stepfather. In this twisted yarn the CandoCo dancers are transformed into skittish characters who writhe their way through brazen dances and intimate interludes. With a ukulele, and a noose they unravel this murderous “dansical”.
With iconic composer Scott Walker setting the scene for a sinister and primal ball, Rafael Bonachela’s And Who Shall Go To The Ball? cuts across the stage, pushing the dancers into extreme connections, entangled in each others bodies, throwing their partners into flight, only to catch and grab and throw again and again and again.
Fans of both vigorously clever, tongue in cheeks dance-theatre and genuinely ghostly romances ought to be tickled and intrigued by the whole thing.
