THE tragi-comic story of faded pop duo Sandy and Bruno is coming to west Dorset tomorrow.

Artistic director Eleni Edipidi collaborates with choreographer and dancer Nathan Johnston to devise and perform this humorous show, told using an alchemic mix of original choreography, physical comedy, acrobatics and striking aesthetics.

Sandy and Bruno met in the seventies and formed a band: she was fame hungry, he was doomed to follow her. But like so many one-hit wonders, through time they’ve been cruelly forgotten; washed up on the scrap heap. Now, they are opening the skeleton cupboard, dusting off old costumes and preparing for a comeback. Is this their last chance for fame? This is a story about love, failure, illusion, drama, glitter and tenderness.

For The Band, Levantes Dance Theatre’s joint artistic director Eleni Edipidi collaborates for the first time on a full-scale touring production with charismatic performer Nathan Johnston.

A departure from Levantes’ female duets, each brings their own unique physicality to a captivating performance that sets original choreography, theatre, circus and the company’s bold visual style to a rousing soundtrack.

The vibrant multi-disciplinary work brings together new and long-term collaborators including Tina Koch, joint artistic director of Ockham’s Razor, and multimedia artist Gopan Iyadurai.

Levantes Dance Theatre consists of key practitioners Bethanie Harrison and Eleni Edipidi, who formed the company in 2005 to create bold, innovative work that tells human stories with flare and gusto. Its trademark visuals and stylistic choreography ensures a thrilling collision of physical theatre, dance and circus performance. Levantes Dance Theatre are Associate Artists at Greenwich Dance.

*The Band, Bridport Arts Centre, Friday, March 24, 8pm. Call the box office for tickets and more information.
