[…] Paradise Lost and Romeo and Juliet while internationally renowned Sydney hip-hop dance artist, Nick Power, brings to the city his new show, Between Tiny Cities, in which Australian and Cambodian dancers, Erak Mith and Aaron Lim, use the rituals, movement styles and language of their shared hip-hop culture to reveal the different worlds that surround them. And returning to Norwich after their sell-out show at the 2018 festival is the universally acclaimed skills troupe, Gandini Juggling, performing ‘Smashed 2’, a work inspired by Pina Bausch featuring nine performers, 80 oranges and 7 watermelons.The fascinating world of circus returns to the Adnams Spiegeltent in Chapel Field Gardens with Cirque Alfonse’s Edinburgh Festival showstopper, Barbu, coming all the way from Canada with full-on beards, barrel-chests, brazen burlesque and a frenetic electro-folk band while Claire Parson’s tactile Marmalade show for families mixes soft circus, fluffy skirts and Fellini music.Late-night work comes from […]

Anglais - English National Opera at its Very Best in Akhnaten at the London Coliseum
Philip Glass, who is recognised as one of the leading proponents of minimalism in the world today, has written over twenty-five operas, a total achieved by hardly any composer since the days of Rossini, Donizetti and Verdi. Three of these form the ‘portrait trilogy’, which focuses on pivotal figures in the fields of science, politics and religion respectively. Einstein on the Beach premiered in 1976, Satyagraha (about Mahatma Gandhi) followed in 1980, and then the triptych was completed four years later with Akhnaten. This final opera appeared at English National Opera in 1985 and 1987, but was not seen again at the Coliseum for twenty-nine years until a new production from Improbable director Phelim McDermott was introduced in 2016.

What Happens When You Cross Ballet With Juggling? This
Says one of the dancers in Sean Gandini's 4×4: Ephemeral Architectures, "The juggling props are pretty light, so it doesn't really hurt if you get hit by them, especially when compared to the pain of wearing pointe shoes."

Something Aten!
[…] that Akhnaten can rise against a stage filling representation of Aten, the disk of the sun. The costumes by Kevin Pollard were Egyptian in their inspiration, but drew upon the imagery of many cultures for their execution. Akhnaten had a dazzling series of elaborate looks that evoked the androgynous depictions of Akhnaten in the artwork from his time. (I think Akhnaten had more costume changes than Massenet’s Manon.) Bruno Poet provided the expressive lighting. Sean Gandini was credited in the program as the Juggling Choreographer(!) He devised a series of inventive, apt movements capturing everything from the building of the holy city of Akhetaten, to the collapse of Akhnaten’s empire and his death If one of La Cieca’s recent blind items is to be interpreted correctly, this show is headed to New York City soon. I can’t wait to see it again. Photos: Craig T. Matthew/Los Angeles Opera
