Stravinsky Appollon Musagète, Ballet in Two Scenes (1947 version)*
Stravinsky Les Noces

Michael Clark‘s Stravinsky Project – O, set to Apollon Musagète, Mmm ... set to The Rite of Spring, and I Do set to Les Noces – was created over three years in a collaboration with the Barbican to produce a trilogy of works to seminal dance scores by Stravinsky.
Presented over two evenings as part of the Norfolk and Norwich Festival, the Project celebrates the marriage between classicism and modernism, tradition and innovation – a marriage that is at the very heart of Stravinsky’s music and Clark’s choreography. The Apollon Musagète and Les Noces scores are performed live by Britten Sinfonia. This will be the first time the entire Stravinsky Project has been performed outside London.

‘A vigorous, at times beautiful paean to the eroticism and infinite possibilities of the human form’ The Daily Telegraph

‘… one of Britain's most important living creators of dance’ The Daily Telegraph

Joint discounted tickets for both Michael Clark performances are available when booked in advance in person or on the phone.
