Tonight was one of those evenings where Gwen booked the tickets in advance and all I knew was that we'd be seeing something. We were a bit late, and Gwen was running when we arrived at Sadler's Wells to pick up our pre-booked tickets. Except the performance wasn't at Sadler's it was at Peacock. Luckily the two are only a bit more than 5 minutes apart by bike if you move a bit faster than usual and you're really lucky with traffic lights (or pretend to be). We made it just in time.
We saw the dance theatre
Justitia. And it was absolutely awesome! The stage design was beautiful yet simple. The story was interesting and kept me thinking. The timeline was non linear to the extreme: time-freeze, rewinding, parallel threads, and non chronological order. The dancing was great, they even had a part which reminded me a bit of
this ping pong video. The music ranged from classical to electronic. Gwen and I even discussed if we'd want to see it a second time.
The only tiny bit I didn't like was that I didn't understand why her lawyer explained that her husband was a tyrant in court. That seemed counter productive to the story she was trying to sell to the judge.
Gwen and I saw the Rampert Dance Company tonight at Sadler's Wells.
