  • Show Information

See Coppelia as you’ve never seen her before!

Following sold-out performances in London, KVN Dance Company returns with Kevan Allen’s magical reimagining of the beloved classical ballet, Coppelia.

This retelling explores eccentric toy maker Dr Coppelius’ intent behind creating a life-size clockwork doll, Coppelia and the impact this has on his relationship with the community of villagers and on Swanhilda’s relationship with her fiancé, Franz.

Fusing classical ballet with contemporary dance and hip-hop, Coppelia features the full classical Delibes score imaginatively remixed by Rickard Berg and nominated for the Critics’ Circle National Dance Award for Outstanding Creative Contribution.
