The shows include a new musical and new work by an acclaimed NDT company.
The New Diorama Theatre has unveiled details of two new shows added to its upcoming Autumn season.
The first newly announced show will see the return of company Ephemeral Ensemble, who return to the theatre with Uprooted (23rd September until the 25th October), following the success of Rewind. Uprooted uses the voices of displaced communities and environmental defenders in Latin America to explore the impact of colonial capitalism and the fight for survival.
Meanwhile, the theatre will also present a brand new musical by Timelapse from the 11th November until the 13th December. Titled Precipice , it is a story that delves deep into the 400-year fallout of a biomedical catastrophe, set against the sound of an original electro-folk score.The show has been created by Stu Barter, Rachel Bellman, Darren Clark, Annabelle Lee Revak, Shaye Poulton Richards and Timelapse artistic director Adam Lenson.
Talking about the news, Head of Programme Emma Clark says: “During an intensely challenging moment for independent ensembles, we are so proud to be presenting the work of Ephemeral Ensemble and Timelapse, two bold and distinctive companies with fiercely passionate visions for what is possible within theatre making and the wider world. These poetic, humane, and wildly theatrical new shows dive headfirst into the systems we are all entangled in, pushing past collapse toward hopeful, rewilded futures.”
