Bruno Beltrão — H3

Archived Show

UK PREMIERE 

Sadler's Wells Debut is a unique initiative that brings new choreographers to the UK for the special low price of just £10.

Bruno Beltrão is well known in his native Brazil for pushing the boundaries of contemporary dance into brand new territory, drawing on diverse influences, including hip hop, to create an entirely fresh choreographic language.

"Possibly the hottest young choreographer in Brazil right now"
THE INDEPENDENT

In his latest work H3, nine dancers from Beltrão's company Grupo de Rua create astonishing duets as they collide and balance against each other, incorporating elements of krumping, popping and floor-spins. A black mirrored stage picks up the screeching noises of the dancers' shoes, which then return as samples in the pulsing electronic soundtrack.

Beltrão's choreography has won him a string of accolades including 'Upcoming Choreographer of the Year' from Balletanz Magazine - don't miss this chance to catch his remarkable fusion of hip hop and contemporary dance in London for the first time.

"It may be a milestone in the history of street dance or a signpost to something completely new, but either way it will be worth following"
