Oeuvre: Schachmatt

A film and two live performances prove to be an excellent demonstration of Scottish Ballet's diverse talents.

By the time a rain of multicoloured paper hands floated down from above, a bizarre figure in orange strolled onstage, ignored by everybody, the audience was in love with the whole thing.

Clearly on a mission to prove that today’s dance world comprises many styles that feed into and refresh each other, Scottish Ballet starts as it means to go on.
