London premiere of "Le Sacre du Printemps" by Dewey Dell
There is great expectation in London for Dewey Dell company who is on stage at the famous Southbank Centre from January 23 to 25 with Le Sacre du Printemps, the show winner of the Danza&Danza Award 2023 as 'Best Italian Production': the three performances have already been sold out for several days.
The Southbank Centre presents them as “one of the most original and compelling companies on the contemporary scene” – a position solidified by this “astonishing” new creation offering a fresh perspective on Stravinsky’s celebrated work.
As we read in the introduction: «The powerful seduction of Stravinsky’s score clashes with the furious energy of the performers’ bodies, creating a visceral experience that captivates audiences. Drawing inspiration from art history and animal behaviour, the performance delves into the eternal cycle of life and death, with the mystery of spring unfolding in a fierce conflict between sound and vision».
The event is presented by the Southbank Centre in collaboration with MimeLondon, and supported by the Italian Cultural Institute in London, Emilia-Romagna Region and ATER Fondazione.
The company will meet the audience after the performance on January 23.
