Plymouth’s Theatre Royal has an impressive winter programme of shows, musicals, plays and pantos, including ‘Rambert: ‘Life is a Dream’ a spectacular new dance show from the Olivier Award-winning choreographer Kim Brandstrup.
Alongside dramatic, lyrical dancing from Rambert’s brilliant ensemble, imagery from legendary filmmakers the Quay Brothers creates a dream-like experience, and a live orchestra playing the rich music of Witold Lutosławski adds to the otherworldly atmosphere. They combine in a contemporary re-imagining of a classic play by Calderón — a study of desires as recognisable in today’s world as at any time in the past 400 years: the longing for authentic experience, and the need to dream.
