After the sell-out success of her two Sadler’s Wells seasons the legendary Sylvie Guillem returns, joined onstage by Russell Maliphant for the very first time.

Sylvie Guillem is widely regarded as the most ‘brilliant ballerina of her generation’ THE GUARDIAN

Russell Maliphant has developed a unique approach to choreography, encompassing his vast experience of ballet and contemporary dance as well as capoeira, t’ai chi and yoga, to create a language which is elegant, articulate and resonant.
‘A choreographer of persistent accomplishment and a performer of enduring fascination…. mesmerising’ THE TIMES 

This mixed programme features two world premieres made especially for this occasion: Push - a duet combining the abilities of this extraordinary partnership set to a brand new score by Andy Cowton, and a Solo (title to be confirmed) performed by Guillem with music by Mukul. The evening is completed by Shift, Maliphant’s signature solo and the powerful, driving solo, Two, performed by Guillem.

The four pieces are complemented by lighting designed by Maliphant’s long-time collaborator Michael Hulls, reflecting the flow and energy between movement and light.
