Ambiguous Dance Company: The Belt - Parts 1 & 2
The Coronet Theatre’s first-ever site-specific event
The Belt: An extraordinary immersive journey from the industrial revolution to the technological revolution, guided by Korea’s leading dance company.
Part 1 – Past
The Coronet Theatre’s first immersive event takes you down the candlelit hallways of one of London’s most atmospheric theatres, where Ambiguous Dance Company’s superb dancers inhabit hidden backstage areas, dressing rooms, attics and the glorious rooftop cupola. Korea’s leading dance company combine hip-hop, ballet and acrobatics in playful, pulsating dance, bringing the energy of the new Korea to this stunningly restored icon of the Victorian era.
Part 2 – Future
The Belt culminates in a brand-new high octane full-length piece on The Coronet’s main stage by a company whose CV includes collaborations with Coldplay and the V&A’s Korean Wave exhibition. In this new piece, Ambiguous takes inspiration from the UK’s trailblazing innovation at the time the theatre was built, from the perspective of the most vibrant, inventive and astounding new cultures in the modern world. If you can’t make Part 1 of the experience, you can buy tickets for only Part 2 here.
Choreographer Boram Kim’s describes his vision: “For us to make work in this theatre which was built in 1898, at a time of technological revolution and which we feel mirrors the world we live in now in Korea, is a real privilege. This building has always been a platform for international innovation – from its opening to the current showcase of cutting-edge international work.”
