A spokesman said: “James Wilton Dance presents Vivaldi’s seminal piece The Four Seasons like never before. Using Max Richter’s recomposed version, the company brings this energetic and dynamic work to life with immense physicality. The work features the company's signature blend of capoeira, acrobatics, martial arts and classical dance, alongside stunning stage and costume designs. In this new work, the company relates each of the four seasons from the musical composition to four stages of the universe: 1) Spring/The Singularity; 2) Summer/The Expanding Universe; 3) Autumn/The Cooling Universe; and 4) Winter/Entropic Heat Death. The choreography is abstract but honestly human, creating a kaleidoscopic visual feast for audiences that is not to be missed.”

Choreography and performance comes from James Wilton and Sarah Jane Taylor; the music has been recomposed by Max Richter, with extensions by Michal Wojtas; lighting and production by Paul Milford; costume and stage design by Vibeke Andersen.
