Sadler's Wells, Rosebery Avenue, Clerkenwell, EC1R 4TN
How Much:
£40.00 (Highest Price)
, £10.00 (Lowest Price)
A stellar production based around a fascinating story at Sadler's Wells this summer sees dancer Sylvie Guillem, choreographer Russell Maliphant and theatre director Robert LePage team up to tell the story of Charles de Beaumont, the Chevalier d'Eon.
This extraordinary figure was a diplomat, author, warrior and spy in the court of Louis XV. He, or she, was also a noted cross-dresser whose gender was never really settled. This sexually ambiguous and hugely daring figure is an inspiring subject for a new production fusing live action and brilliant new choreography.
The production mixes classical dance with Kabuki techniques from Japan which employ highly stylised male dancers dressed as women. The finery and costumes of the French court have been brought to life by none other than the late, great Alexander McQueen.
