  • Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui makes his Royal Ballet choreographic debut with an exploration of one of the most powerful figures in Greek mythology in a retelling of the tale of Medusa. Subscribe to our channel and find out more at www.roh.org.uk
    Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui is artistic director of Royal Ballet of Flanders as well as artistic director of his own company, Eastman, and associate artist at Sadler's Wells. Cherkaoui's style is eclectic, drawing on his training in many different styles of dance, from ballet to hip-hop via tap, jazz and flamenco. So, his new work, created on The Royal Ballet, brings yet further, new stylistic fusions to the Company repertory and the Royal Opera House stage.
    Cherkaoui has created more than fifty works for companies including Les Ballets C de la B, Dutch National Ballet, Royal Ballet of Flanders, Paris Opera Ballet and Martha Graham Dance Company. His works often explore themes of cultural difference, religion and spirituality. For example, Sutra (2008) was created in collaboration with artist Antony Gormley and the Shaolin Monks. Following its world premiere at Sadler's Wells, Sutra continues to be performed across the world.
    This clip features music by Olga Wojciechowska.

    This is Maybe the TOP ballet I have ever seen in my life ( on video) that is so fluid, beautiful, and demonstrates the ability to tell a story through dance - I’m addicted to this performance ( in an unhealthy way BECAUSE it’s so creative and beautiful).

    I connect way more with this interpretation of the myth than the general version of it where it's just 'medusa is monster, gets killed by hero'. Much more interesting and thoughtful and human
