A Tale of Two Cities
Lost Dog/ Ben Duke | GB
British theatre maker and choreographer Ben Duke likes to put classic novels on the chopping block. Next victim: A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, a novel about flaming revolution, torching love and searing revenge. Duke goes the extra mile in this delightful mix of [English spoken] theatre, dance and live camera work.
It’s a work that deserves to be widely seen, not only by dance audiences or Dickens fans. ****
