Ballet. Great Britain 2016, 104 min. Director & Choreographer – Matthew Bourne. Set & Costume Design: Lez Brotherston. Starring: Princess Aurora – Hannah Vassallo. Leo (The Royal Gamekeeper) – Dominic North. Count Lilac – Christopher Marney. Carabosse / Cardoc – Adam Maskell. In English with Russian subtitles. Following a sell-out UK tour Matthew Bourne’s stunning production, Sleeping Beauty, has been filmed for the big screen.The story begins in 1890, the year of the ballet’s first performance, at the christening of the heroine Princess Aurora. It was the Fin-de-Siecle period when fairies, vampires and decadent opulence fed the gothic imagination. As Aurora grows into a young woman, we move forward in time to the more rigid, uptight Edwardian era; a mythical golden age of long summer afternoons, croquet on the lawn and new dance crazes. Years later, awakening from her century long slumber, Aurora finds herself in the modern day, a world more mysterious and wonderful than any fairy story! Matthew Bourne’s Sleeping Beauty is a Gothic Romance that will delight dance fans of all ages and completes the choreographer’s Tchaikovsky trio of Nutcracker and international hit Swan Lake.

Ballet. Great Britain 2016, 98 min. Director & Choreographer – Matthew Bourne. Set & Costume Design – Lez Brotherston. Lighting Designer – Chris Davey. Sound Designer – Paul Groothuis. Music – Terry Davies. Starring: Alan Vincent, Zizi Strallen, Kate Lyons, Dominic North, Christopher Trenfield. In English with Russian subtitles. A sensational new dance event for cinemas from the internationally acclaimed choreographer Matthew Bourne and his Dance Company New Adventures, The Car Man is loosely based on Bizet’s popular opera (Carmen) and has one of the most thrilling and instantly recognisable scores in classical music, brilliantly arranged by Terry Davies. The familiar 19th Century Spanish cigarette factory becomes a greasy garage-diner in 1960’s America where the dreams and passions of a small-town are shattered by the arrival of a handsome stranger. Fuelled by heat and desire, the inhabitants are driven into an unstoppable spiral of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge. Lez Brotherston’s epic design, Chris Davey’s evocative lighting and Matthew Bourne’s vivid storytelling take in a wealth of cinematic references, creating a powerful and uncompromising vision of small-town America.
