Serpent - Liam Scarlett's first commission for BalletBoyz® is a beautiful study of unison and virtuosity, featuring a haunting score by acclaimed UK composer Max Richter and stunning lighting from Michael Hulls.
Fallen - The latest work by Russell Maliphant to join the repertoire of BalletBoyz® is a hypnotic and entrancing display of grace and power, featuring a specially composed score by award-winning French cinema composer Armand Amar, and lighting by Maliphant's long-time collaborator, Michael Hulls.It’s an impressive evening of work that will delight many as it tours around the UK, and proves that the Ballet Boyz are still at the forefront of engaging audiences and producing all encompassing work.
Maliphant has been making work for two decades, but still this unique and scrupulous choreographer continues to reinvent what the dancing body can do.
The pace is fast: one false move and the edifice would collapse. But discipline is BalletBoyz' middle name, and when the material is as good as this, the result is thrilling.
A strong programme.
There is no storyline, but the powerful male partnering leads the mind in all manner of directions. Sometimes aggressive, frequently gentle, the men could be best friends, lovers, combatants, it’s up to us.
