Rambert returns next month to its home in the north west, The Lowry in Salford, with four contrasting dance works including the world première of American choreographer Barak Marshall’s The Castaways.
He will join forces with designer Jon Bausor who designed the London 2012 Paralympics Opening Ceremony.
Set in a nostalgic past and performed to a soundtrack of popular music from the ‘50s alongside traditional Yiddish music, it surrounds the dynamics of hierarchy, power and free will.
Also performed as part of the evening, Monolith was created for Rambert by Tim Rushton, artistic director of Danish Dance Theatre.
Salford audiences will also see Rambert’s version of Nijinsky’s L’Après midi d’un faune—a nod to the Company’s classical roots—and What Wild Ecstasy, the modern day response from artistic director Mark Baldwin.
