“Staying with me is Duke's consummate ability to... convey human ambiguities with a pinpoint accuracy”

Juliet and Romeo - A Guide to London Life and Happy Marriage (Ben Duke)

Lost Dog

Solène Weinachter, Danse

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.

Igor & Moreno / Ben Duke

Julie Jozwiak, 4th March

Le Théâtre des Abbesses accueille Igor and Moreno et Ben Duke dans un programme alliant humour et provocation insolites.

Lost Dog in Ben Duke’s Ruination: essential viewing

Amanda Jennings, 4th December

Exceptional, witty performances combined with superb choreography and script make Ben Duke's take on the Medea myth unmissable.

Rambert: Death Trap, contemporary dance theatre rarely done so well

Graham Watts, 22nd November

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

A diverse and entertaining triple bill from Rambert

Graham Watts, 18th May

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

Lost Dog's alternative Juliet & Romeo

Audrey Lemarchand, 13th April

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