Sadler’s Wells and the Young Vic present a trail-blazing dance theatre collaboration inspired by, and set to, Modest Mussorgsky’s classic piano suite Pictures from an Exhibition. Moments from death, Mussorgsky's life flashes before his eyes. Vivid memories of his past and his closest relationships return in powerful fragments, brilliantly staged by director Daniel Kramer (Angels in America, Punch & Judy) and choreographer Frauke Requardt (Associate Artist at The Place 2004-06). Beneath the surface of Modest Mussorgsky's classical composition, Kramer and Requardt uncover a rich seam of emotion. The most powerful urges of worship and domination, love and loss, death and commemoration burst out of the music and onto the stage in a beautiful nightmare.
