WARRIOR QUEENS

SADLER'S WELLS
 WELL SEASONED PROGRAMME 2022

Interrogating displacement, cultural hybridity and power, Warrior Queens delves into ancestry and lineage inspired by the legendary folk myth of Hua Mulan and Virginia Woolf’s Orlando.

 

Choreographed by House of Absolute Creative Director and Olivier-Award nominated Julia Cheng, this work explores yin yang energy, identity and the adversity of the modern-day warrior. Embedded in a live musical soundscape with percussion from Beibei Wang and musicians from the Philharmonia Orchestra.

 

Warrior Queens is supported by Sadler’s Wells, Philharmonia Orchestra, University of Bedfordshire, DanceEast and Arts Council England.
