LES AMOUREUX

POST SHOW SOCIAL

Combining a mesmerising mix of stunningly beautiful contemporary dance, physical theatre and captivating opera, Les Amoureux is a truly unique sensual tale that moves, excites, and delights.

This is an exceptionally moving story of incredible joy and sadness – aches a twisted Sleeping Beauty with the faded opulent feel of a gothic fantasy. Inspired by Angela Carter's story ‘The Lady of The House of Love’ this visceral, theatrical equivalent to Carter’s incredible imagery is beautifully presented by the enthralling talents of the highly innovative choreography and exquisite dancers.

Company Chordelias new production successfully continues to provide a scintillating evening’s entertainment that makes contemporary dance accessible to all, exceeding all expectations.

“Very moving performance – nearly had me in tears.  Loved it all”
