SYLVIE GUILLEM & RUSSELL MALIPHANT (FRANCE / UK)
Push

Sadler’s Wells
Fri 30 September - Mon 3 October

Sylvie Guillem and Russell Maliphant take to the stage together for the very first time with a mixed bill featuring two world premieres made especially for this occasion.

The programme consists of Solo and Two performed by Guillem; Push, a duet combining the abilities of this extraordinary partnership; and Shift, Maliphant's signature work.

Reflecting the flow and energy between movement and light, the three pieces are complemented by lighting designed by Maliphant's long-time collaborator Michael Hulls, with music by Shirley Thompson (Shift) and Andrew Cowton (Push).

‘Guillem gives us emotion in its most direct and harrowing form.’ The Guardian

‘(Maliphant) is supremely present in everything he does, able to draw on resources of movement others can only dream about.’ The Observer
