Phoenix Dance Theatre -
Phoenix Dance Theatre presents a distinctive programme featuring both classic modern dance by eminent choreographer José Limón (1908-1972), and the latest stylish offerings from the company’s Artistic Director Javier De Frutos.
One is a crucial figure in the development of modern dance whose landmark work is rarely seen in the UK, the other a notorious maverick of the contemporary dance world whose passionate Latin American spirit informs his delightful choreographic interpretation of human relationships.
The Moor’s Pavane (1949) is Limón’s signature work based on the tale of Othello and set to music by Purcell, while Chaconne (1942) is a solo that has previously been performed outside Limón’s own company only once, by Mikhail Baryshnikov.
De Frutos also presents two works: a new piece based on Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie, and the enchanting Sadler’s Wells co-commission Paseillo.
- "Excellent skills, infectious stamina and, above all, outstanding artistic consistency are the most distinctive features of the new Phoenix"
