Betroffenheit – Trailer

Created by Crystal Pite & Jonathon Young
Written by Jonathon Young

Music by Owen Belton, Alessandro Juliani & Meg Roe
From Sadler’s Wells Theatre

The award-winning “Betroffenheit” is a boundary-stretching hybrid of theatre and dance that explores the psychological states of trauma, grief and addiction.

Combining tap, salsa, spoken word, song and puppetry with Pite’s emotionally charged choreography, “Betroffenheit” is a witty and tender-hearted exploration of disconnection, isolation and what it means to come to terms with life’s tragic. Described as raw and riveting, this genre-busting dance-theatre hybrid was the Dance Critics’ top pick of 2016, and won the 2017 Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production. Jonathon Young was also deservedly awarded Outstanding Performance in Modern Dance at the Critics’ Circle National Dance Awards.
