Created by world-renowned Spanish choreographer Blanca Li, with virtual costumes designed by fashion house CHANEL, audiences also have a chance to learn the dances with Blanca Li Dance Company after the event. In the vein of previously acclaimed productions, Roman Tragedies and Kings of War, this is a dark, epic and visceral story adapted from ancient Greek classics that tell how revenge wrecks and haunts successive generations.īlanca Li Dance Company returns to the Barbican, with the award-winning virtual reality experience Le Bal de Paris, a UK premiere, which uses ground-breaking VR and body-tracking technology to transport audiences to a breath-taking Parisian ballroom. Directed by Ivo van Hove, it features the choreography of Wim Vandekeybus and live on-stage music from the contemporary music ensemble BL!NDMAN. We bring the Barbican co-production and UK premiere of Internationaal Theater Amsterdam’s Age of Rage to the Theatre. And to round off our jam-packed season is the return of the phenomenal Anything Goes. To honour Raimund Hoghe - German performer, choreographer, writer and dramaturg to Pina Bausch - Mary Kate Connolly, editor of his biography, looks back at his life in this fitting farewell. This Pit Party celebrates the creativity of trans artists featuring a fantastic line-up of performers.
We’re delighted to present the next edition of Transpose, curated by Campbell X and directed by Tabby Lamb. The visionary South African visual artist and theatre director, William Kentridge, brings two new pieces to our stage, with live piano and chorus, about the strange myth of the Cumaean Sibyl, a prophetess. Last seen at the Barbican with her dancing robots, Le Bal de Paris is a not-to-be-missed VR experience created by the Spanish choreographer Blanca Li. If you love to move, step into another world as you don cutting-edge VR kit to experience a Parisian ball, dressed in virtual costumes by fashion designer CHANEL. If you missed Internationaal Theater Amsterdam’s Roman Tragedies and Kings of War, now’s your chance to catch the company’s trademark style of epic theatre with Age of Rage, a dark and bloody story about a cycle of revenge. Toni Racklin, Head of Theatre and Dance at the Barbican, said: “2022 sees the long-awaited return of international work in the Theatre, The Pit and Silk Street Theatre. Tickets go on sale to Barbican Patrons today, to Barbican Members on Thursday 20 January, and on general sale on Friday 21 January. Performances begin next week with London International Mime Festival, and run until early September 2022 with the triumphant return of the smash hit musical Anything Goes. The Barbican today announces the spring/summer Theatre and Dance line-up.
