This performance has taken place in the past
with Emma Rice and Ian Ross
Sales for this event will stop at 10pm, Thursday 10th December
Emma Rice’s sumptuous and physical production, The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk, will be remounted by Kneehigh, Wise Children and Bristol Old Vic and livestreamed across the world on the 3rd– 5th December (we will be hosting a watchparty on 3rd December). Join Emma and composer, Ian Ross, for a Q&A to discover more about the livestream and how they created the award-winning show; from realising the fluidity of Marc Chagall’s paintings on stage, to finding the inspiration for the music in the Russian Jewish tradition.
