The Red Shoes
Return of Matthew Bourne's award-winning smash hit show
Wolverhampton dance ensemble Jaivant Patel Company’s latest show reflects the experiences of British Indian gay men through contemporary-dance storytelling. Along the way, the production dives into four themes: seeking, desire, acceptance and love.
As Jaivant explains, one section of the piece is particularly important to him: “The one thing that I knew I definitely wanted out of this piece was a love duet. I knew that I wanted that, because I'd never seen a love duet between two brown Indian men. I wanted it to reflect representation, but I also wanted it to reflect a sense of hope.”
