The Thread


Celebrated choreographer and Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Russell Maliphant collaborates with Oscar-winning composer Vangelis for this stunning new work.

Inspired by ancient mythology and set to explosive electronic music, this contemporary dance production explores changing forms of traditional Greek dance.

The acclaimed creative team includes artistic conception from Georgia Iliopoulou; lighting by fellow Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist, the “choreographer of light”, Michael Hulls; and costume design by award-winning London-based Greek fashion designer, Mary Katrantzou.

The Thread is produced by LAVRIS Productions, Athens.
