‘A sophisticated, clinical fever-dream’ – The Times
‘A slick and skilful production’ – The Guardian
Award-winning Shobana Jeyasingh Dance stage a new searing piece inspired by the life and work of artist Egon Schiele.
Four dancers inhabit Schiele’s highly-charged world of colour, masterful lines and unusual perspectives, a world that puts the human body on visceral display.
Shobana Jeyasingh’s dynamic choreography matches the intensity of Schiele, engaging with his anxieties as well as his supreme self-confidence.
Shobana is joined by an exceptional creative team – composer Orlando Gough, designer and visual artist Ben Cullen Williams, lighting designer Adam Carree and with costume design by Cottweiler.
