Sadler’s Wells and Universal Music UK present Message In A Bottle, the breathtaking new dance-theatre production by triple Olivier Award nominee, Kate Prince, to the music of 17-time Grammy Award winner, Sting.
The peaceful village of Bebko is alive with joyous celebrations. Suddenly, under attack, everything changes forever. Three siblings, Leto, Mati and Tana, must embark on perilous journeys in order to survive.
Initially inspired by Sting’s track, Desert Rose, Message In A Bottle is an uplifting and poignant tale of humanity and hope that reflects on salient global tropes, including displacement, immigration and survival, using high-energy footwork, exhilarating dance styles and breath-taking athleticism.
This is the latest stage work from Kate Prince, whose renowned narrative choreography includes West End theatrical hits Some Like it Hip Hop, Into the Hoods and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, set to many of Sting’s most iconic hits, including Every Breath You Take, Roxanne and Fields Of Gold. The production features the astonishing talents of dance storytelling powerhouse ZooNation and brings together a world-class award-winning creative team, including new musical arrangements by Alex Lacamoire (Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen).
