Talented, young international dancers from Jasmin Vardimon Company’s JV2 programme will premiere powerful new works by long-standing Jasmin Vardimon Company associates Vinicius Salles and André Rebelo. This brilliant dance ensemble, hand-picked by Jasmin Vardimon, showcases an exciting and energetic mix of inventive choreography and exceptional new talent.

Mystique

Choreographed by André Rebelo. A mysterious world merging fantasy and darkness. With a lucid dream like quality, there are elements of magic, illusion, shape shifting and special gifts. Experience a universe where multiple dimensions cross paths, interlacing a mixture of identities from many different origins.

It’s Not Unusual 

Choreographed by Vinicius Salles. Who never went to a pub and caught yourself seeing Delilah being thrown table to table? Or saw a bunch of lads drunk on the street saying to a girl: she is a lady! Or couldn’t resist thinking about the music… it’s not unusual?! This show wants to investigate toxic masculinity and sexism by focusing on one of the most notorious symbols of British music, Tom Jones. We want to dive into his most popular tunes, to have a physical approach into the images of ‘man’ built in British culture in which his person embodied. And on that extend, to highlight how woman is represented in his lyrics to have a critical, ironic, sometimes funny, study of what is behind his most catchy tunes ingrained in every pier you ever ate a fish and chips, such as Delilah, She is a lady and It’s not Unusual.

This autumn, internationally acclaimed Jasmin Vardmon Company presents the world premiere of ALiCE, a bold reimagining of Lewis Carrol’s ground-breaking 1865 novel, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Created and choreographed by artistic director Jasmin Vardimon, with design by Guy Bar-Amotz, ALiCE promises a sensory feast of arresting images, powerful performers and striking kinetic scenery. The autumn tour will begin with the work premiering at The BOing Festival at The Gulbenkian Theatre in Canterbury on 27th and 28th August before taking to the road, and will culminate in its London premiere at Sadler’s Wells at the end of October.

ALiCE tells the story of a woman, or perhaps a child, unsure of her identity and where she is going, escaping or exploring as she discovers the powers within her changing body. The world around her is different, curious, and compelling – and at times absolutely bonkers.

Exploring the themes of time, identity, rules and authority, award-winning Jasmin Vardimon’s newest creation follows the worldwide success of her adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s Pinocchio which, for the past six years, has played to packed houses across the world.
