Lest We Forget

Here is a round-up of tweets from audiences who saw Lest We Forget in 2014 and 2015, including our performance of Akram Khan's Dust at Glastonbury Festival.

On sale on Monday 4 June 11am. We have put together an exciting programme of special events: come and have a great time with us! Discover more about the ballets we'll be performing, get closer to our dancers and teachers, and get your creative juices flowing.

We’re very excited to announce our 2018-19 season, featuring Lest We Forget, Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon, Derek Deane’s Swan Lake, Wayne Eagling’s Nutcracker, She Persisted (a triple bill of works by Stina Quagebeur, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa and Pina Bausch) and Christopher Wheeldon’s Cinderella in-the-round.

Dust was created by choreographer Akram Khan  in 2014, as part of Lest We Forget, our dance programme reflecting on World War I. We met with one of his collaborators, Kimie Nakano, who designed its costumes.

When it premiered at the Barbican in 2014, Lest We Forget marked a defining moment for our Company with critics calling it “both moving and ambitious” (The Independent) and “full of promise for ENB’s future” (The Daily Telegraph).

No Man’s Land was created by choreographer Liam Scarlett in 2014, as part of Lest We Forget, our dance programme reflecting on World War I. In its review, The Daily Telegraph wrote that the piece was “atmospherically designed by Jon Bausor”. We recently met with Jon Bausor to discuss the piece’s creation and his inspiration.
