THE LAND OF YES & THE LAND OF NO - Sydney Dance Co at CIVIC THEATRE NEWCASTLE Address

Beautifully wrought from the world of signs and symbols in our everyday lives, Artistic Director Rafael Bonachela’s celebrated production has toured extensively since it first premiered at the Ludwigsburg Festival, Germany in 2009. Instantly recognised by audiences and critics as “a giant leap... imaginatively, musically and choreographically”, Sydney audiences now get to see this sensuous work performed at home.

Every exquisite movement picks out the irresistible intensity of Ezio Bosso’s score, with the Company’s magnificent dancers performing on a set of fluoro tubes and rich, constantly changing colours.

Designed by a crack British team of Alan MacDonald (production), Guy Hoare (lighting) and Theo Clinkard (costumes), this is a production which promises all the physical precision and enthralling dance that have dazzled the Company’s audiences from Shanghai to Venice. Don’t miss it!

“This was a 100% gold-plated ‘my I wasn't expecting something as stunning as that’ hit.” Ballet.co.uk

‘Bonachela recasts the experience of direction and control in a fascinating variety of modes, each given dramatic colour by Ezio Bosso’s score.’ The Guardian

‘The Land of Yes and the Land of No starts with an elastic and mesmerising solo… and builds from there into strong ensemble formations of increasing weight and complexity.’ The Times
