@ENBallet reigniting my passion for dance with their outstanding triptych ‘Lest We Forget’ reflecting the experiences of those who fought, & those who stayed behind. Visually stunning, beautifully moving & brought to life by a very talented ensemble #ENBLestWeForget #TOTastemaker pic.twitter.com/IiYePEvCsa

#ENBLestWeForget Will leave you breathless, moved and a little bit broken. The best dance you're likely to see in your life. This critic in tears in the stalls. Beg, steal or borrow a ticket. @ENBallet

Yesterday was pretty amazing. The news that the wonderful @djdaisyjohnson beautiful novel Everything Under has been Booker-shortlisted. Then had the privilege of seeing Akram Khan's #warballet Dust, one of the most significant pieces of war art I have experienced.

The English National Ballet gave a powerful and emotional performance of Lest We Forget with three works to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War at Sadler's Wells. No Man's Land, Second Breath and Dust were all brilliant! #London #Dance

Poetic, hugely powerful, epic. Three splendidly choreographed acts culminating in the unforgettable @AkramKhanLive’s Dust and its caravaggesque mise-en-scène. I would watch it again and again. Spellbinding #LestWeForget @ENBallet @Sadlers_Wells #dance https://t.co/0Og5lGZqOA

Can't get @ENBallet haunting productions of Lest We Forget out of my mind! Brilliant synthesis of dance, emotion, music & lighting. I hope it remains in the repertoire for future years as a modern classic like Britten's War Requiem. Any chance of a DVD? Thank you ENB @TamaraRojo1

It is impossible to tire of @ENBallet’s ‘Lest We Forget’. The music, choreography and performances – all beautiful. Akram Khan’s ‘Dust’ in particular is something very special. It will stay with you for a long time. Simply unforgettable.
