A unique evening at the theatre. The objective of bringing ballet to a more diverse audience is achieved, but possibly at the expense of a well put-together evening.

A wonderful folk tale that is told with thoughtfulness through dance. Unfortunately, the show doesn't pace the narrative well enough to earn the pathos that should be integral to the story.

Pros: Strong physical performances and lovely music Cons: The theatre wasn’t big enough to house all our dreams Since the premiere of Joan Clevillé’s Plan B for Utopia in 2015, we’ve seen the referendum vote to leave the EU, the election of Donald Trump, and the continued spate of terror attacks. With impressive clarity of vision, Clevillé has succeeded in creating a choreographic language that resonates with humanity and remains relevant in these rapidly changing times.

Pros: Powerful physical performance Cons: The relentlessly punishing choreography feels pointless at times On a thrust stage, performer Markéta Vacovská pushes herself to her physical limits as she explores the intensity of a boxer’s experience.

Thirty-five minutes of exhilarating, passionate dancing which makes a powerful statement.

A meditative work with interesting moments and some strong images.

A fascinating piece full of startling images. Intelligent and rigorously trained performers are compelling to watch, but the themes are bleak and difficult to grasp at times.

World class contemporary dance brimming with wit, verve, and originality.
