UK Premiere of Babel
Antony Gormley has once more collaborated with Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, on ‘Babel (words)’ which will have its UK premiere on 18 and 19th May. Gormley has created five giant boxes for Babel’s seventeen dancers and musicians to work in and around. Live music includes hindu rhythms by brothers Mahabub and Sattar Khan, Kodo drumming by Shogo Yoshii and medieval music by Gabriele Miracle and Patrizia Bovi (who performed in Cherkaoui and Jalet’s ‘Myth’ and the recent work-in-progress, ‘Play’).
