Bonachela Dance Company

The Land of Yes and the Land of No

19 - 20 March, 7.30pm, Jerwood DanceHouse

In a new collaboration with Italian composer Ezio Bosso, The Land of Yes and the Land of No is Rafael Bonachela's deepest exploration yet into the power of imagination and the body's ability to give physical shape to memory, experience and emotions.

Bonachela's dynamic movement is both beautifully abstract and intensely emotive, matched by an expressive score. Bosso has previously worked across opera, film and dance, in addition to writing symphonic and chamber works.

Set designs come from long-time collaborator Alan Macdonald, best known for his work on feature films such as The Queen and Edge of Love.

There will be a free post-performance Q&A for ticket holders on 19 March with members of the company.
