Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Kidd Pivot

Spot-on dance-theatre not taking itself too seriously, daring to be genuinely funny.

Pite and Young bring more of the same, in their unique brand of dance theatre. 

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. 

Betroffenheit is an uncomfortably revealing and farcical journey through one man's experience of post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction.  

Crystal Pite’s The Tempest Replica puts a unique spin on William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Presented at Sadler’s Wells, where Pite has recently become the 16th Associate Artist, The Tempest Replica gives us an old school story in a brilliant new way.

It is becoming an increasingly rare event in the dance world for a major company to live up to its own hype, and Crystal Pite’s Kidd Pivot had quite a bar set before opening night of The Tempest Replica at the Joyce. And – almost unbelievably – expectations were met.

Dans leur nouvelle création, le duo canadien et la compagnie Kidd Pivot proposent une extraordinaire et improbable croisée des mondes entre le conte médiéval et l’univers associatif contemporain nord-américain.
