Lo-Giudice Dance

Kicking off the season is a romantic and wild new work by North East choreographer Anthony Lo-Giudice. Savages conjures up folklore, history and the soil of the ancient landscape against a Nordic-noir soundtrack by Einar Selvik, founder of the band Wardruna.

When asked why audiences should come and see Savages, Lo-Giudice says:

“We’d love audiences to be taken to another world with this piece. For one hour, we want people to feel like they have stepped into a portal that has taken them back over 1000 years and they have become spectators in a series of unfolding scenes, both dark and beautiful. The music in itself should take the audiences to another world. Wardruna fuse ancient Scandinavian runes with battle cries and hauntingly beautiful song which in itself is something quite exciting to experience when the bass of the drum can be felt through the floor and the chants of ancient words lead the dancers through their stories. People who love watching the physicality of dance will find pleasure in this piece, whilst those who love history and storytelling will feel engaged with the themes of the work.”
