London Theatre Direct

This collaboration between internationally acclaimed composer Mark-Anthony Turnage and Olivier Award-winning choreographer Wayne McGregor marks the first new work in Sadler’s Wells Composer Series.

UNDANCE
A brand new choreographic work performed by the dancers of Wayne McGregor│Random Dance with lighting by Lucy Carter, costumes by Moritz Junge, UNDANCE features a visual world created by Turner Prize-winning visual artist Mark Wallinger. Turnage’s new score for UNDANCE has been inspired by a text written by Wallinger, which was in turn, inspired by American sculptor Richard Serra’s Compilation of Verbs and the work of photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge.

Twice Through The Heart
The evening also features a new staging of Turnage’s emotional chamber opera Twice Through The Heart (1997), written for mezzo-soprano and 16 instrumentalists. Wayne McGregor will direct Sarah Connolly in the role of a woman who is jailed for killing her abusive husband. Collaborating with Turnage and McGregor will be the innovative digital art-collective OpenEndedGroup with lighting again by Carter and costumes by Junge.

Both works feature a live orchestra conducted by Tim Murray.
