Holiday on Ice brings a spectacular new show, "ENERGIA", to the UK in 2011, premiering at the Birmingham LG Arena on 7 & 8 January, followed by Brighton Centre (11-30 January), Peterborough Exec (3-6 February), Cardiff International Arena (8-13 February) and Exeter Westpoint (18-27 February).
"ENERGIA", performed by some of the world's most talented and exciting ice skaters, tells the story of the universe and how it is connected by energy. Beginning with an exploding Supernova, and continuing with the creation of mankind on Earth, we then visit the worlds of Neptune, Mars and Venus, watch a tango between the Sun and Moon, and finish with a Bollywood-style celebration of Diwali, the annual festival of Light. The story unfolds beneath a 23-tonne set resembling Saturn and its rings, and the lavish and colourful costumes not only depict the planets and constellations, but also all the living creatures of the Earth. "ENERGIA" is directed and choreographed by Kevin Cottam, who was himself a champion skater and trained and choreographed World and Olympic champions. His co-choreographer on "ENERGIA" is Simone Grigorescu, a former World Professional Champion. The music has been composed by Canadian trio René Dupéré, Ella Louise Allaire and Martin Lord Ferguson - René wrote the first ever original soundtrack for Holiday on Ice, and Ella and Martin have also composed for Cirque du Soleil. Costumes are designed by Roberto Rosello and the set is by Bart Clement, with lighting by Luc Peumans and sound by Leo van den Boogaard. The Executive Producer of "ENERGIA" is Hans Staal. Holiday on Ice is a Stage Entertainment company.Videos
