| Description |
With a specially-commissioned score by composer Nitin Sawhney, Vertical Road draws inspiration from Sufi tradition and the Persian poet and philosopher Rumi. Exploring man's earthly nature, his rituals and the consequences of human actions, Vertical Road becomes a meditation on the journey from gravity to grace, proving to be a "visceral evening of choreography that will rejuvenate even the most weary viewer's love of dance". |
