Step into an intimate, candlelit world for a performance like no other. Human | Candlelight offers a rare, up-close experience of the electrifying solo work created by award-winning choreographer Eliot Smith, performed by the extraordinary Yamit Salazar, set to the stunning, original score of multi-award-winning composer Adam Johnson.

 

A unique blend of cutting-edge contemporary movement, evocative folklore, and high-energy commercial dance, Human is an explosive solo portrayal of human evolution, from the early stirrings of primeval consciousness to modern life in thrall to technology.

 

In this intimate setting, the candlelight and music will amplify every powerful movement, creating an unforgettable evening that will leave you breathless.

 

This performance also raises vital funds to support Eliot Smith Dance (ESD), helping ESD continue to create groundbreaking work.

 

Tickets are extremely limited, so don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind experience. Book now to secure your spot.
