Description

A powerful and mesmerising new dance work created for historic churches in European cities

A new work created for churches in European cities, including Venice, London, Worcester and Stockholm. Inspired by their dramatic architecture Jeyasingh's striking choreography contrasts and complements the rhythms and shapes of these historic buildings. Exploring notions around the church as a place of enquiry as well as solace, the work offers an intimate and thought-provoking respite to the busy hubbub of the streets outside.

TooMortal explores both human vulnerability and tenacity within a dramatic and historically resonant setting. Jeyasingh's choreography offers surprising new perspectives, with the dancers travelling over the pews on a powerful and mesmerising journey.
