The surreal love tragedy Blood Wedding (1933) by the Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca is reimagined in an intense and captivating full-length ballet by the young choreographic talent Eukene Sagues.

Blood Wedding

The Royal Playhouse and The Old Stage

Dance and words go hand in hand when choreography meets acting in Anja Behrens’ staging of Ibsen’s wildly imaginative classic. Peer Gynt wanders the world, driven by a relentless thirst for acknowledgment and the urge to escape his childhood. Subjected to his mother's deprivation and sorrow over the traumatic dissolution of his family and home, he has spent his life evading truth and reality, escaping into delusions, fantasies and grandiose lies. This serves as both his salvation and his curse. When he finally returns home, he is confronted with his profound fear of death.
