THE THIEVES BANQUET
This speculative musical was designed for the Young Vic. The narrative was inspired by four songs by Akala: The Thieves Banquet, The Thieves Banquet Part 2, Pissed Off and Peace. The Devil, seeking to retire, holds a banquet at his palace in order to find the most evil person on Earth to take over.
INTERNAL RHYTHM
This contemporary dance piece explores the rhythms within the human body. The dancers represent entities within the body, interacting with each other and interacting with the body itself.
Choreographer - Samantha Reid.
