I went to see Alain Platel’s latest work with his dance company les ballets C de la B on Thursday night at Sadlers Wells: Out of Context – for Pina . It was breathtaking – such natural, concentrated expression forming a humble, consciously balanced exploration of the human form and condition, yet at the same time was totally epic and mind-expanding. Here’s a little clip from a previous performance (one of the males dancers changed to a taller, skinnier one at our performance, and he was rather incredible to watch).

So after rooting around on the web to find out whether Platel has any other projects on the go that I could experience soon, I found the trailer for a new project to premiere this weekend at NT Gent Theatre in Belgium called Gardenia. Wanna see it! Alas, it doesn’t seem to be coming to the UK….
