The world's most loved dancer is at the top of his game. Having left the world of ballet to explore other areas of dance, his work is filled with investigation and ingenuity. The London Coliseum is premiering five exciting new works featuring Acosta. Following Danza Contemporanea de Cuba's George Cespedes sell out at Sadler's Wells, the company has commissioned a new piece for Acosta. This is followed by one of the renowned choreographer Russell Maliphant's pieces, made famous by Sylvie Guillem. Principal dancer at the Royal Ballet, Zenaida Yanowsky, will join Acosta for a third piece by Edwaard Liang of New York City Ballet, and finally, Acosta himself has choreographed an exciting new work in collaboration with Cuban violinist Omar Puente and emerging digital media artists. This final part is Carlos' first piece since his extremely popular Tocororo and it reveals an extensive examination into the possibilities of his virtuoso physicality. If beauty, immaculate craft and ingenuity are of any interest, we recommend going to see Acosta!

NB: runs till 07/08.
