Straight after the crescendo of The Junebug Symphony  came the feverish fantasy La Veillée des Abysses. The extraordinarily versatile James Thierrée has fashioned another masterpiece as contortion, acrobatics, mysterious transformations, music and dance fuse together.

Regular collaborators contortionist Raphaëlle Boitel and opera singer Uma Ysamata were joined by Swedish dance legend Niklas Ek, Belgian dancer and animator Gaëlle Bisellach-Roig and Brazilian acrobat and capoeira dancer Thiago Martins.

We presented it at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, the Peacock Theatre and Wales Millennium Centre. It also travelled to Mexico, America and Australia.
