Zero Degrees

I was absolutely bowled over this week by a dance production that I saw at Sadlers Wells. A collaboration between Akram Khan, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (both dancers), Nitin Sawhney and Antony Gormley. The programme says that 'zero degrees explores borders - between countries, cultures and, most importantly, between life and death'. It may sound a little pretentious but it REALLY worked and the story-telling, beautiful music, incredible athleticism from the dancers and their interaction with the Gormley life-size casts, made for a mesmerising evening. If you ever get this see these guys collaborating again, you must go!
