Revisor

Revisor description

From the creators of Betroffenheit, the celebrated hit of the 2017 Adelaide Festival, comes an exhilarating new dance theatre work about corruption, deception and the forces of radical change.

Revisor again brings together the extraordinary talents of choreographer Crystal Pite and theatre-maker Jonathon Young. Described by The Guardian as “the dance genius who stages the impossible”, Pite is renowned for her exciting, inventive choreography and is one of the most in-demand choreographers in the world; Young is one of Canada’s best-known actors and a highly respected playwright.

​The farcical world of Nikolai Gogol’s The Government Inspector serves as the inspiration for their astonishing new work. Revisor is a true hybrid of dance and theatre with startling depth and complexity. Voiced by actors, the recorded script provides the score for Pite’s arresting choreography, brought to life by the phenomenal dancers of acclaimed Vancouver-based company Kidd Pivot.

Mining the potent relationship between language and body, this is a virtuosic work exploring conflict, comedy and corruption from one of the most exciting dance theatre companies in the world.

★★★★★ Dance theatre at its most vivid and mysterious … Just go.
