"Rhythm Riot" with the English National Ballet feat. Stravinsky, Vasks and Tru

  • Sadler's Wells theatre, London (map)

One stage, three moods. Explosive energy. Deep resonance. Unstoppable drive. Feel the pulse of ballet now.

A rhythm that ignites the night, George Balanchine’s Symphony in Three Movements is a 21-minute corker. No tutus – only leotards, no tiaras – only ponytails, and no story – only the bold propulsion of Stravinsky’s percussive music driving 32 dancers to an explosive conclusion.

Micaela Taylor’s Bow Out (world premiere) is a rhythm that won’t let you sit still.

Auguries of Innocence (world premiere) a poetic meditation on our connection to the natural and spiritual worlds. For this new work, Jae Man Joo draws inspiration from the poetry of William Blake and the music of Peteris Vasks – both rich with anguish, yearning and lyricism.
