To commemorate 100 years since the end of the First World War, English National Ballet revive their “moving and ambitious” (The Independent) triptych reflecting the experiences of those who fought, and those who stayed behind.

The programme features works by two Sadler’s Wells Associate Artists: Russell Maliphant’s Second Breath, in which 20 dancers rise and fall, and Akram Khan’s award-winning Dust which is “full of pain and power” (The Independent), as well as Liam Scarlett’s No Man’s Land – evoking the entwined destinies of the soldiers and munition workers.

Joseph Halliday

I have never been to a ballet before and found it to be a good experience. Some of the works were truly fantastic. It would of however been wonderful if we could have had something to explain the narrative as for a while I was lost with regards to the story line

Outstanding choreography by Scarlett, Maliphant and Khan; remarkable performances by the dancers especially Erina Takahashi and Fabian Reimair; great sets, lighting and music. Altogether, movingly presented pictures of loss, pain, struggle and fortitude.
