Choreographer Iván Pérez
Composer Keaton Henson
Live dance and music beautifully interweave with film as the internationally acclaimed BalletBoyz make their Wilton's debut with Young Men, created by the celebrated choreographer, Iván Pérez.
Bringing to life their Rose d'Or award-winning film which chronicles the experiences of those sent to fight in The Great War, the BalletBoyz dancers burst from screen onto stage, performing to an evocative and mesmeric score by cult singer/songwriter, Keaton Henson.
Applauded the world over for vivid and vital dance productions, BalletBoyz bring this poignant and powerful hybrid of live dance and film to London as part of the final season of 14-18 NOW, which marks the Centenary of the Armistice.
Co-commissioned by BalletBoyz, 14-18 NOW, BBC and Sadler's Wells
