A Night’s Game

Inspired by true life events, Alleyne Dance’s production, A Night’s Game is a dark, atmospheric and abstract work that reflects the turmoil and strife of human emotion when faced with the prospect of incarceration. Explore the minds journey as the contemplation of the loss of freedom engulfs every waking moment.

“A Night’s Game grows stronger at each viewing. It is an absorbing, energetic non-narrative work focusing on the theme of incarceration. This is evidenced during Sadé’s long opening solo, compulsively creating rhythms by foot-stamping and body-slapping, her movement centred on and around a wooden chair, as if in solitary confinement. When Kristina joins her, there is an initial aura of mutual mistrust, even aggression, between them. Sadé twice jumps on and off the chair before throwing it weightily, and over some distance, to be caught by Kristina.”
