Scottish Dance Theatre, Scotland’s flagship contemporary dance company, brings the German premiere of a new captivating double bill by internationally acclaimed choreographers Emilie Leriche (US/Sweden) and Edouard Hue (Switzerland). In Rotten Work, Leriche offers a poetic, slow-burning work that unfolds through moments of connection and shared endurance, asking what it means to move forward together without leaving anyone behind. In sharp contrast, Hue’s The Game of Life bursts with sensation-driven movement. Inspired by puzzle, the piece explores how individuals come together, evolving whole without surrendering their uniqueness. Suggesting that imperfection may be the very force that keeps a society alive.
