The Royal Danish Ballet will present Chroma in eight performances, from 26 May until 6 June, as part of its All the Rage (Sidste skrig) programme, featuring contemporary choreography from Denmark and abroad. Alongside Chroma, Wayne McGregor’s perennially popular work set to a score by Joby, the dancers will perform works by Yuri Possokhov, Patrick Delcroix and Tina Tarpgaard, on the Playhouse Main Stage (Skuespilhuset Store Scene) of the Royal Danish Theatre. Information and tickets are available online.
Joby’s score for Chroma comprises a selection of his orchestral arrangements of songs by drum and bass guitar duo The White Stripes, alongside original compositions taken from his year-long project Once Around the Sun, and the short orchestral work Hovercraft.
Chroma was originally created for The Royal Ballet, and excerpts of their performances can be viewed on the website of Wayne McGregor’s company, Random Dance.
