Following the pivotal impact of Dust and Giselle, Akram Khan returns to English National Ballet for his third collaboration with us. Creature is an unearthly tale of exploitation and human frontiers inspired by Georg Büchner’s expressionist classic Woyzeck, with shadows of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Drawing on themes of abandonment, isolation and the fragility of the mind, Creature is the tale of an outsider and the search for belonging. Khan is joined by a brilliant creative team of Academy Award-winning designer Tim Yip, composer and sound designer Vincenzo Lamagna, lighting designer Michael Hulls and dramaturg Ruth Little. #EnglishNationalBallet #ENBCreature #AkramKhan #JeffreyCirio _________________________ 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗗 Sign up to our monthly newsletter ⟶ http://www.ballet.org.uk/sign-up Subscribe on YouTube ⟶    / @englishnationalballet   ENB on Facebook ⟶   / englishnationalballet   ENB on Twitter ⟶   / enballet   ENB on Instagram ⟶   / englishnationalballet   ENB on Spotify ⟶ https://open.spotify.com/artist/4F32M... _________________________ 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗛 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗧 Founded in 1950 as London Festival Ballet by the great English dancers Alicia Markova and Anton Dolin, English National Ballet has been at the forefront of ballet’s growth and evolution ever since.
