Louise Lecavalier: Children / A Few minutes of Lock

International performer, director, and dance veteran Nigel Charnock has brought more chaos and confusion to the dance world than it can handle, but he still can’t resist making irreverent, funny, emotional and very human dance theatre works which challenge and entertain audiences everywhere.

Children is danced to a stunning soundtrack accompanying the lives of two lovers and the end or the beginning of love. A dark, witty, very physical work ― like a great big grown-up child.” More than ten years after leaving La La La Human Steps, Louise Lecavalier is revisiting, alongside dancer Elijah Brown, three duets from her final years with the celebrated troupe (excerpts from 2 and Exauc /Salt).
