Electric Japan 2022: Tristan And Isolde
Celebrated Japanese choreographer Saburo Teshigawara returns to The Coronet Theatre with the UK premiere of Tristan and Isolde.
In Tristan and Isolde, excerpts from Wagner’s opera are edited into an original and unique dance piece. Continuously undulating music and body fill the space with a forever modulating melody arising, yet reaching nowhere, such is the impossibility of love and death.
A major figure in the dance world, Saburo Teshigawara has won international acclaim as a choreographer, director and performer for over 30 years. He was last seen at The Coronet in 2019 with his acclaimed production of The Idiot.
