The Picnic

2024

Premiere: Sadler’s Wells, London, 27.11.2024

Preview: South East Dance, Brighton, 15.11.2024 

The Picnic explores themes of utopia and it is inspired by the painting ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’ by H. Bosch, which presents many human figures in a terrestrial paradise, indulging in worldly pleasures. The tone is that of a dream; filled with strange scenarios of strong visual and aural textures that invite our senses to indulge into physical sensations and our minds to follow surreal invitations.
