“...an outrageously gorgeous piece of modern dance.”

The Observer

“...beautifully and inspiringly danced... unmissable. ”

The Daily Telegraph

“The precision of these dances seems to reach right off the stage. ”

The Independent

Michael Clark Company’s latest production evolves from Michael Clark’s admiration for the music of rock’s holy trinity, David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, who worked in close proximity during the 1970s. The production includes Bowie’s iconic song “Heroes”.

“Rock is my rock. It has been vital to me at a personal level; it has shaped me as an individual as well as an artist”

Michael Clark.

Hailed by the Independent on Sunday as 'British dance's true iconoclast', Michael Clark creates work that combines his classical fluency with a twisted contemporary sensibility that embraces embarrassment, doubt, and fear, as well as grace, virtue and control. He is renowned for his legendary collaborations with bands, fashion designers and visual artists including Wire, BodyMap, Leigh Bowery, Trojan and Sarah Lucas.

Clark’s ensemble will feature Kate Coyne, Melissa Hetherington, Oxana Panchenko, Clair Thomas, Benjamin Warbis, Simon Williams, Ellen van Schuylenburch and Stephen Beagley.

Commissioned by barbicanbite09 and Dance Umbrella (London), La Biennale di Venezia (Venice) and Dansens Hus (Stockholm) as part of European Network of Performing Arts (ENPARTS).

Co-produced by barbicanbite09, Dance Umbrella, Michael Clark Company, Edinburgh International Festival, Grand Théâtre de Luxembourg and Maison des Arts de Créteil.

Michael Clark Company is an Artistic Associate of the Barbican, London and is supported by Arts Council England.
