Eonnagata

Eonnagata (see http://robingrebsonsguidefortheperplexed.blogspot.com/2009/03/eonnagata-sadlers-wells.html) is back at Sadler's Wells, remixed, choreography rewritten, and some of the more obvious technical difficulties fixed (you can hear the spoken parts, the narrative seems to flow better, and it all feels less wobbly.)


It remains an astonishing piece, still one of the very weirdest things I have seen, with a unique pungent flavour. It is mellower and more hypnotic, with a distilled, concentrated, beautiful melancholy. Quite astonishing.
