Graham Watts, 22nd November

This all-Duke programme punctuates choreography with comedy, which in turn merges with pathos.

Graham Watts, 18th May

Rambert presents an excellent cohort of expressive dancers, but the programme lacked an overall wow factor.

Goat au Théâtre des Abbesses : le sacre du bouc émissaire

Iris Régnier, 16th April

Ben Duke a créé ce spectacle en partant de musiques de Nina Simone mais aussi de la lutte politique et sociale qu’elle incarnait. Il explore ici particulièrement la figure du bouc-émissaire, scapegoat.

Audrey Lemarchand, 13th April

Clever in its concept, witty in its development, precise in its interpretation, refreshingly universal and accessible.
