Lest We Forget
Featuring three poignant works, Lest We Forget reflects on the experiences of those who fought in the conflict, and those who stayed behind.
Drawing on superb design and evocative scores, choreographers Liam Scarlett, Russell Maliphant and Akram Khan have created dance pieces full of unforgettable and haunting images.
Liam Scarlett’s No Man’s Land evokes the entwined destinies of the women working in munition factories at home and the men fighting in the trenches, through emotional pas de deux set to a score by Liszt.
20 dancers tilt and sway in semi-darkness, rising and falling, in Second Breath, a “devastatingly effective” (Daily Telegraph) piece by Russell Maliphant featuring recordings of survivors and a live orchestra.
With “dancing full of pain and power” (The Independent), a pounding soundtrack and atmospheric lighting, Akram Khan’s Dust grabs you from the start and does not let go.
Please note: At the 24 September 7.30pm, 25 September 2pm, and 27 September 2pm performances we also perform Vera, choreographed by Stina Quagebeur and inspired by Vera Brittain’s memoir of the First World War, A Testament of Youth.
