Werk: Dutiful Ducks

Ballet Nights 008 – Spring into Summer proved to be a judicious choice of quality and diverse repertoire. 

Rambert’s SUB is an intense and visceral exploration of male physicality. Seven male dancers push their bodies to the limit performing Itzik Galili’s choreography with amazing energy. Lit from above in pools of light, bodies appear from the shadows, create new images, and disappear like phantoms.

In the opening night of its short Autumn season at Sadler’s Wells, Rambert Dance Company presented a mixed bill that comprised four attractive works. Introducing a brand new piece by Irish choreographer Marguerite Donlon, the programme also included three revivals from acclaimed choreographers Paul Taylor, Merce Cunningham and Richard Alston.
