I am falling October 30, 2008

These performances of the acclaimed I Am Falling mark the start of an exciting new partnership which sees the Gate Theatre present dance theatre work at Sadler's Wells.

"The Gate is at the forefront of a growing trend that brings theatre and dance ever closer together"
THE GUARDIAN

Originally staged at The Gate Theatre in January 2008, I Am Falling effortlessly blends dance and text to tell a story which is at once shocking and tender, harrowing but beautiful. It explores the extremes of human emotion and the damage that can be caused by loving too much.

Director Carrie Cracknell uses lighting and sound to zoom in and out of the action, leading the audience’s attention like a film camera. The narrative is presented from varying angles, allowing the characters’ stories to unfold from different perspectives simultaneously.

Sadler’s Wells is delighted to offer audiences another chance to experience this unique show, which features choreography by Anna Williams and text by Jenny Worton. The remarkable on-stage world is created by Garance Marneur, with lighting by Katharine Williams and sound by Edward Lewis.

"This exquisite miniature unfolds on stage like a film and yet is intensely alive even as it deals in the currency of death. It is entirely itself in its urge to find a new, expressive language"
