Sasha Waltz

When Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Damien Jalet met Luc Dunberry and Juan Kruz Diaz de Garaio Esnaola from the dance ensemble Sasha Waltz & Guests for the first time, they discovered a shared passion for medieval music. Recognising a core thread within each other's work – the voice's ability to flow over movement to become theatrical – here the four combine as a medieval quartet to perform songs from the 12th and 13th centuries, bringing the Middle Ages into the present through dance and song. On a set comparable to a construction site, they fight, relate, approach, question, love and hate each other in all possible ways in the UK premiere of this rarely performed production.
