Jasmin Vardimon Company: Lullaby
Internationally acclaimed choreographer Jasmin Vardimon returns with a groundbreaking new production that resonates with the emotional depth of her 2003 breakthrough work, Lullaby.
That seminal piece, set in a hospital ward, established her as an Associate Artist at Sadler’s Wells and won her numerous awards. Now, she revisits and expands that world with a bold new production. Against the backdrop of a cold, clinical hospital landscape, Vardimon explores the emotional highs and lows of human life with her trademark fusion of wit, raw honesty, and visceral theatricality.
As Susan Sontag reminds us: “Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick…” This work embraces that universal truth, confronting it with striking imagery and deeply human storytelling.
Founded in 1998, and a leading force in British dance theatre for over twenty five years, the Jasmin Vardimon Company has built a reputation for challenging and visually arresting dance productions infused with social and political commentary. With the opening of JV H.O.M.E, a new building located in Ashford, Kent and dedicated to the company’s research, creation and multi-disciplinary creative learning programme, Artistic Director Jasmin Vardimon continues to add to an extensive body of critically acclaimed, artistically respected work both for her own Company and for some of the world’s leading arts institutions that she has collaborated with across the world.
