Kidd Pivot presents the full-length work The Tempest Replica in its Canadian premiere. Based on motifs from Shakespeare’s epic play, award-winning Canadian choreographer Crystal Pite stages a game of revenge and forgiveness, reality and imagination in this magical narrative retelling. A theatrical sensibility complements the mastery of the dancers – their fluidity heightening the dramatic articulation of the plot. Swathed in white light, shadows abounding, with music composed by longtime collaborator Owen Belton and a film montage by Jamie Nesbitt, Pite’s latest work is a startling innovation.

BONUS! POST PERFORMANCE CHAT: Join Crystal Pite after the show on Friday, Sept. 28th for a special post-performance chat to share your experience of the performance. The chat will take place in the theatre right after the show.
