Obra: Betroffenheit

The German word Betroffenheit doesn’t translate easily to English. Any German-English dictionary will spit out approximations like "shocked" and "dismayed", but for a real translation, see Crystal Pite and Jonathan Young’s challenging, beautiful work by the same name. 

An outstanding exploration of trauma and reprieve. 

Sadler’s Wells trendiest Associate Artist, Crystal Pite, has made it again. Betroffenheit is a hybrid between dance and theatre that explores the cavities of the human mind and trauma.
