Founder and Artistic Director Cassa Pancho brings a balletic adaptation of the darkly comic, international bestselling novel, My Sister, The Serial Killer written by Oyinkan Braithwaite.
When Korede gets a distress call from her sister Ayoola, she knows what to do: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel, and a strong stomach. It’s the third boyfriend Ayoola has killed in ‘self-defense,’ and the third mess Korede has to clean up. She should probably go to the police, but family comes first. Things change, though, when Ayoola starts dating the doctor Korede has loved for years. Korede can’t let him be the next victim – but saving him would mean betraying her sister…
The double bill is completed by Brooklyn-born, award-winning choreographer Chanel DaSilva, making her British choreographic debut with A Shadow Work. Renowned for using the arts to inspire meaningful change, DaSilva has been commissioned by prestigious companies such as The Washington Ballet, Parsons Dance Company, and Dallas Black Dance Theatre, and made history as the first Black woman to choreograph for The Joffrey Ballet.
In her debut for Ballet Black, DaSilva delves into the profound practice of shadow work, exploring its power to reveal our true selves. Her work is celebrated for its deep exploration of humanity and its potential to inspire transformation both within the dance world and beyond.
