Hall for Cornwall, Rambert 2017: The Ghost Dances tour
Elixir Festival, Sadlers Wells London
‘Hacienda Paradise’ was choreographed by Rambert animateur Deborah Galloway in collaboration with Inner Ground company members. Created in response to Christopher Bruce’s ‘Ghost Dances’ (1981), the abstract dance work calls on the supernatural, animal gods, and themes of human chaos, when one woman’s desire to control leads to her own downfall. Inspired by a true story from the Galapagos Island of Floreana, this paradise sets the scene for mystery, murder and self-destruction.
Rambert is Britain’s national dance company. It presents new and historic dance works to audiences in all parts of the country, performed by world-class dancers and accompanied by live music, alongside extensive outreach, education, participation, and professional development work.
