McCabe: Edward II (complete ballet)
 

'... the sweeping landscapes of a menacing world - where the grim reaper, scythe in hand, hides round every corner.'

Director David Bintley's interpretation of Christopher Marlowe's dark epic is set during a scandalous and merciless era of English history. Evocations of cruel medieval England are created by John McCabe's score, which counterpoints Peter J Davison's staging and Jasper Conran's lavish and licentious leather costumes.

In this fierce and sadistic atmosphere, Edward makes his first provocative act on becoming king - to recall his male lover, Piers Gaveston, from exile. Quickly enraged by her husband's pampered boyfriend, Edward's wife, Isabella, supports a petition to hunt down and remove Gaveston. But the chase escalates dangerously, resulting in Gaveston's brutal murder. Grief stricken, Edward vows revenge.

David Bintley created Edward II for Stuttgart Ballet in 1995, first staging it for BRB to great critical acclaim in 1997. This eagerly anticipated revival contrasts passages of intense passion and primitivism.

11th Osaka European Film Festival
 

As part of the 11th Osaka European Film Festival, Belgium's renowned Rubio Quartet collaborates with Kyoto residents, dancer Heidi Durning and artist Sarah Brayer, and the distinguished pianist Rikuya Terashima for a performance of music and dance inspired by, and written for, film and theatre.

Heidi Durning has choreographed a new work which she will dance for the first time to the music of John McCabe's Woman by the Sea for Piano and String Quartet. Mizoguchi's 1954 classic Sansho Dayu film was British composer McCabe's inspiration for this piano quintet, commissioned by Peter Mallett and first performed in Japan during the 9th Osaka European Film Festival. Sarah Brayer, who created art work for the London première of the piece in 2001, has painted a kimono for Heidi to dance in and lends a paper screen for the back-drop.

Other works in the concert are the Shostakovich Jazz Suite, theatre music by Chris Carlier, and the world première of the Frederick Devreese Theme and Variations for Piano Quintet, created for the Rubio Quartet by the composer from his film score to the 1994 Yves Hanchar movie La partie des checs.
