TooMortal in London and Finland
Originally performed in 2012, Shobana Jeyasingh Dance will be performing TooMortal in London for just four performances!
TooMortal is a beautiful and mesmerising work strikingly set within historic churches.
Dancing within the pews, six women dressed in flame red weave a story that moves sharply between turbulence and tension. Are they charting a journey from cradle to grave? Or cast adrift on a wooden sea?
The TooMortal soundtrack by sound artist Cassiel remixes Tenebrae Responsories by James MacMillan, creating an atmosphere of calm solemnity infused with tense, sometimes ominous, flavours.
TooMortal was premiered at the Venice Dance Biennale in 2012 and remains one of our most critically acclaimed works. It was chosen as one of the 20 best dances of the 20th Century by The Guardian.

Our priority is the health and wellbeing of artists, audiences and colleagues so we will be communicating and abiding by the the latest Covid-19 guidance at the time of the performances.
