A major new stage show for 2022, co-produced by Sadler's Wells London, and inspired by the heroine of Claudio Monteverdi's "Il Combattimento", the proud and fiery warrior Clorinda. A dramatic, powerful work that weaves contemporary dance, baroque and new music, and film to create a story that explores violence, resilience and revelation.

    Situation

    Our driving passion has been to place dance in the centre of the dialogue of ideas. We believe that dance can stimulate the mind as well as the body. Clorinda Agonisites is our heartfelt response to the seismic cultural shifts that continue to create turbulence in the relationship between Europe and the rest of the world. The creation of this work marks our commitment to supporting the livelihoods and creativity of our dancers and freelance community who have been so badly hit by Covid-19.

    Solution

    SJD continues to create high quality dance to provide essential work opportunities and connect positively with new and existing audiences throughout the ongoing pandemic, with the goal of coming through this challenging period with a renewed sense of energy and ambition. Clorinda Agonistes will stimulate audiences to engage with current and pressing political, historical, and cultural issues from a new perspective. This will contribute to a more consensual understanding.
