Coppelia
Synopsis
See Coppelia as you’ve never seen her before!
Following sold-out performances in London, KVN Dance Company returns with Kevan Allen’s magical reimaging of the beloved classical ballet, Coppelia.
This retelling explores eccentric toy maker Dr Coppelius’ intent behind creating a life-size clockwork doll, Coppelia, and the impact this has on his relationship with the community of villagers and on Swanhilda’s relationship with her fiancé, Franz.
Fusing classical ballet with contemporary dance and hip-hop, Coppelia features the full classical Delibes score imaginatively remixed by Rickard Berg and nominated for Outstanding Creative Contribution at the 22nd Critics Circle National Dance Awards.
Age Recommendation: Suitable for all ages.
Running Time: 2 hours (including 20 minute interval)
Show Warning: Strobe lighting is used within this performance.
