GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui & Antony Gormley - Icon brings two UK premieres choreographed by Sadler's Wells Associate Artist, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui together with designs by his regular collaborator, sculptor Antony Gormley.
In Icon, three-and-a-half-tonnes of clay are moulded, heaped and shaped by 18 dancers, drawn from both GöteborgsOperans Danskompani and Cherkaoui’s own company, Eastman.
Coating themselves and each other, they perform in the ritualistic creation, destruction and ultimate replacement of their graven idol to the sound of traditional songs from the Amami Islands, French ballads and medieval compositions.
At Sadler's Wells on 30 November 2018, book your GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui & Antony Gormley - Icon tickets today!
