Scottish Dance Theatre | Rotten Work & The Game of Life
Scottish Dance Theatre, Scotland’s flagship contemporary dance company, presents the UK premiere of a new programme by internationally acclaimed choreographers Emilie Leriche (US/Sweden) and Edouard Hue (Switzerland).
In Rotten Work, Leriche offers a poetic, slow-burning choreography that lingers in moments of connection, intimacy, and quiet emotional depth: “It is simple: No one is allowed to be left behind, though they may tire or weaken. If ever we arrive, we must arrive together. Not me alone, or them without me. But us, as one. That’s the work, Rotten as it is. Carry me along, though I may be a weight.”
In sharp contrast, Hue’s choreography is organic and sensation-driven, combining raw virtuosity and emotional intensity in a dynamic physical language that reveals both strength and vulnerability. Inspired by puzzle and pattern, The Game of Life explores how individuals come together into a living, evolving whole without surrendering their uniqueness. What if failing to reach the form we imagined were not a failure, but the very condition of a living society?
