Dance & Physical Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 12 Feb: Hamlet Peckham, In Tents And Purposes, Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch

And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Hamlet Peckham | The Bussey Building | 1-27 Feb (pictured)
You might recall Shakespeare Peckham’s ‘Othello Peckham’, back in 2013, and if you saw that, you will no doubt be happy to hear that the group have returned to The Bussey Building with ‘Hamlet Peckham’, an intimate and alternative production of the play that features three different actors (two women and one man) in the title role. For more info and to book your tickets see this page here.
In Tents and Purposes | Vault Festival | 10-14 Feb
Yes, yes, I admit I chose this because of the title because I am an enormous fan of foolish wordplay. But, you know, then I read a bit more about the show and realised that it sounds very intriguing. Enticing, in fact. It follows the path of two friends over the course of a decade, and takes a look at just how much our lives are shaped by the choices we make. And it’s funny. See this page here for all the info.
Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch | Sadler’s Wells | 11-14 Feb
Renowned and influential choreographer Pina Bausch died back in 2009, and the piece set to be performed at Sadler’s Wells this week, ‘como el musguito en la piedra’ was the last thing she created before her demise, while on tour in Chile. The piece uses the music of Chilean composers and draws on the country’s politics and culture. Sounds fabulous. See the venue website here for more info and to book.
