The Belt – Past and Future, is an immersive journey in two parts, from the industrial revolution to the tech revolution, guided by Korea's most exhilarating dance collective, Ambiguous Dance Company.
Past – takes you down the candlelit hallways of one of London's most atmospheric theatres, where Ambiguous Dance Company's superb dancers inhabit hidden backstage areas, cellars, attics and the glorious rooftop cupola. Korea's leading dance company combine hip-hop, ballet and acrobatics bringing the energy of the new Korea to this stunningly restored icon of the Victorian era.
Future – the World Premiere of a high-octane full-length piece, complete in itself. Ambiguous Dance Company and Artistic Director Boram Kim present their vision of the future with their own acclaimed brand of playful, pulsating choreography. In this new piece, Ambiguous takes inspiration from the UK's trailblazing innovation at the time the theatre was built, from the perspective of the most vibrant, inventive and astounding new cultures in the modern world.
Choreographer Boram Kim's describes his vision: “For us to make work in this theatre which was built in 1898, at a time of technological revolution and which we feel mirrors the world we live in now in Korea, is a real privilege. This building has always been a platform for international innovation – from its opening to the current showcase of cutting-edge international work.”
