Epic in scale – daring, abstract and grounded in the pursuit of love and art, this Sondheim classic is an unconventional love story that imagines the interior life of French painter Georges Seurat. Helmed by Susannah Martin and David Möschler, the architects of our wildly successful Assassins, this artistic dream team will create an experience where the show’s immersive and unbridled passions awaken a kinship in our own spirits.

Palimpsest Corpus represents the outcome of Pei-Ling Kao’s project The Dancing Body Through The Lens of Postcolonialism, in which ten well-known choreographers each set a short solo for Kao between 2018 and 2022. The work suggests that the movement of the dancerʻs body reveals their history. The various styles of dance training Kao has inhabited, together with the influences of the individual choreographers have all left traces on her movement. The superimposed layers of each of these dance lineages are now fused within her Taiwanese body.
