A high energy triple bill of daring contemporary dance influenced by martial arts, breakdance and capoeira, from award winning choreographer James Wilton.

Cave is an exploration of our perceptions of reality and our desires to uncover truth.

Falling Unknown is an intimate duet exploring attraction and sacrifice where the female dancers feet never touch the floor.

The Shortest Day, winner of the Sadlers Wells Global Dance Contest, concludes the programme with the dancers struggling against themselves and each other in a desperate effort to survive.
