London-based Venezuelan choreographer Javier De Frutos created The Anatomy of a Passing Cloud for RNZB in 2013, to mark the company’s 60th anniversary.
De Frutos intended the work as a ‘gift to New Zealand’, and explores Pasifika imagery and culture through dance and music.
Leading New Zealand choreographers Andrew Simmons and Neil Ieremia present pieces inspired by their homeland’s contribution to the First World War.
