Theatre

Angel’s Bone is a new work of opera-theatre that follows the plight of two angels whose nostalgia for earthly delights has mysteriously, brought them back to our world. They are found battered and bruised from their long journey by a couple who is in the midst of a financial crisis. They set out to nurse the wounded angels back to health…then lock them in a room, leaving them a claw foot bathtub for a shared bed, and decided to exploit these magical beings for wealth and personal gains. Angel’s Bone melds chamber music, theatre, pop music, spoken word, opera, cabaret and electronics, exploring the dark effects and motivations behind modern-day slavery and trafficking industry. Chinese-American composer Du Yun has won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Music for this production. This programme contains violence and adult content and is recommended for audience aged 13 or above only.
