Veins of Water by Maud Le Pladec
Maud Le Pladec, Artistic Director of Ballet de Lorraine, presents Veins of Water, performed to ‘Diacritical No. 7’, ‘Drown’ and ‘Diacritical No. 8’ by Nico Muhly, played live by the Britten Sinfonia.
Performed by three dancers, Veins of Water sees movement and music locked in close dialogue, as fast-paced, intricately crafted choreography ripples across the stage with striking clarity and control.
This performance was filmed live at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in November 2025.
