Phoenix Dance Theatre : Declarations |
 |
| Wed 15th & 16th Sept |
| Internationally renowned dance company Phoenix Dance Theatre open their new tour at Liverpool Playhouse with this world première, featuring four unique pieces of dance.
With a live microphone at its heart, Aletta Collins' Maybe Yes Maybe, Maybe No Maybe blends movement and voices to create a fresh, witty piece. In Isira Makuloluwe's Locked in Vertical , dancers coil and turn their way through a breathtakingly fluid new work. Inspired by the words of Barack Obama, Warren Adams' The Audacious One is packed with tense, political intrigue. The bill is completed by a welcome return to the stage for Philip Taylor's atmospheric Haunted Passages .

Gimp |
|
| Thur 18th Nov |
| A
Gimp examines the uncompromising ways we are often identified or defined by our physicality. It is about beauty, not the photo-shopped, airbrushed kind, but a harsher more unexpected one.
Gimp is a collision of two worlds that are not supposed to co-exist and turns on its head accepted notions of dance, performance and body image. |

No Wise Men |
|
| Thur 2nd Dec to 15th Jan |
| Reality and the ridiculous collide in an enchanting festive adventure, whisking you between Marrakech and Liverpool, Victorian England and the present day.
This is the extraordinary tale of a reckless man who risks everything one Christmas Eve.
Jack Wilkins is forced into a desperate attempt to retrieve his life after accepting an irresistible offer from a sparkly eyed stranger. But time is running out and if he can't honour the deal he has struck and get to the hospital by the allotted hour, he will lose everything. Forever.
With a toothy reindeer, a distracted fairy godmother, a warehouse full of pants and a seasonal nod to some of our best-loved Christmas stories No Wise Men is an hilarious, magical and absurd Christmas cracker of a show. |
