Rambert: Ghost Dances, Tomorrow & Frames

Rambert: Ghost Dances, Tomorrow & Frames

Ghost Dances is Christopher Bruce’s masterpiece, and possibly the most popular work in Rambert’s history. It tells stories of love and compassion, as death – in the form of the iconic “ghosts” – interrupts the daily lives of a series of ordinary people. Inspired by Latin American celebrations of the Day of the Dead and the bewitching rhythms of traditional songs, it’s a moving, intensely human work, revived here for the first time in 13 years.

Alongside this classic are two new pieces from Rambert. Tomorrow uses dance to tell the story of Macbeth, and reveal the dark desires that lead a man to murder. Frames creates a show-within-a-show, as dancers use metal poles to form shapes, structures and spaces which, quite literally, frame their dancing in a different light.

 

*Please note, that Ghost Dances will not be interpreted but the other two dances in the programme, Tomorrow and Frames, will be on Thu 24 November.


The critical consensus

Triple bill of old and new works gives Rambert dancers, and audiences, much to get their teeth into.

Rambert’s 2016-17 tour of Britain includes five new music commissions in its repertoire, but it’s the long-awaited revival of Christopher Bruce’s Ghost Dances that names the show and seals its climax.
