This was the UK premiere for the Compagnie Marie Chouinard from Quebec. She started with Soft virtuosity, still humid, on the edge – a title that means nothing in English but perhaps has more resonance in French. Happily the work was far more exciting than the title.
Alain Platel’s Nicht Schlafen is a major work that maddens some and delights many. I found it to be exciting and packed with stimulating aesthetic, intellectual and artistic choices.
