The Gate at Sadler's Wells
Gate Theatre, compagnie dernière minute, Théâtre Garonne, Toulouse and Festival Des Rencontres Choréographiques Internationales De Seine Saint Denis Present
PRESS
28 - 30 May 2009
Lilian Baylis Studio, Sadler's Wells
Originally staged at the Gate in February 2008, PRESS explores how our personal space is confined by the pressures of modern life. It is performed in a specially constructed boxed stage less than three and a half metres wide.
"Laugh-out-loud funny, tragic, breathtaking and hugely uplifting.
PRESS seamlessly blends contemporary dance with physical comedy."
