Heavy metal cello meets contemporary dance in Bach Reimagined

One of Europe's premier touring dance companies teams up with a Canadian cellist for a groundbreaking performance in Ipswich this April.

The details: Bach Reimagined will be performed at the Jerwood DanceHouse on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 April, with both shows starting at 19:30.

The production explores "everything from Bach's means of composition as a form of divine worship, to the scientific advancements of his contemporary Sir Isaac Newton," according to DanceEast.

"Light will be split, gravity will be discovered and the world will be forever changed."

By the numbers:

  • Tickets are priced from £18, with concessions from £14

  • Special £10 tickets are available for under-25s attending on Saturday 26 April

  • Discount code SPRING25 can be used to redeem this offer

What to look out for: James Wilton Dance's "super athletic, flowing physicality accompanied by Browne's driving heavy metal cello, will create a visual and sonic spectacle that will leave audiences in awe of the epic combination of beauty and ferocity."

The bottom line: Those interested in attending can book tickets online or by calling 01473 295230, with special discounts available for younger audiences experiencing the performance for the first time this spring.
