Rambert Dance Company — featuring The Comedy of Change

Archived Show

LONDON PREMIERE 

Globally renowned for presenting works from some of the world's most notable and emerging choreographers, Rambert Dance Company never fails to surprise and delight its audiences.

"As near-perfect an evening of modern dance as mere mortals can expect"
THE SUNDAY EXPRESS

Following the universal successes of Constant Speed (2005) and Eternal Light (2008), Artistic Director Mark Baldwin creates a brand new work that will tantalise the senses and stimulate the mind. Celebrating Darwin year, The Comedy of Change is set to a specially commissioned score by renowned British composer Julian Anderson, and designed by one of Paris' leading lights of contemporary art, Kader Attia. It skilfully blends dance and science into a stunning, witty and striking performance.

"***** Unalloyed delight. Danced with finesse and great charm"
THE FINANCIAL TIMES
on Carnival of the Animals

Two further works include a new piece by Nigerian/Welsh choreographer Henri Oguike. Described by The Daily Telegraph as "one of Britain’s juiciest young talents", this is Oguike's first work for Rambert and a long overdue step into the spotlight. Siobhan Davies' delightful five-star Carnival of the Animals completes this spectacular programme. All three works feature live music by Rambert's orchestra.
