Seven Actors for a King
The Spiralarts Dance Theatre Company, London

At the beginning, there was our desire to undertake a fantasmatique crossing through the Arthurian legend, confronting some of the historical remains with contemporary spiritual practise. For a while our rehaersing brought us all over the British Island, from the North coast of Cornwall to Northern plains of Wales.

Very soon we found ourselves passionatly engaged in an overwelming tour filled with myths and stories.
All along, we have met with witches and magicians, with knowledgable scolars and ambitious connoisseurs, and we have found ourselves ready to create from the variety of our experienceses a completely new theatrical form in which music and dance, dialogue and multi media theatre intermingle to an outstanding stage performance.
