Following the sold-out run of Jasmin Vardimon’s new immersive performance Canvas at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Ashford, the company has announced it will be sharing a specially filmed performance for free over the May bank holiday weekend.
The streaming forms part of a triple bill of work featuring the 14 talented dancers of Jasmin Vardimon’s JV2 company on Vimeo over three consecutive weekends. Each year two choreographers are commissioned to create a new work for JV2. Accompanying Canvas by Jasmin Vardimon, this year’s bill features May You Listen? by Sabrina Gargano (Jasmin Vardimon Company dancer and co-director of Elelei Dance Theatre) and Eterna by Anthony Matsena (co-Artistic Director Matsena Productions and former Sadler’s Wells Young Associate)

Directed by Sabrina Gargano. Devised and performed online during the UK’s third lockdown in late 2020, May You Listen? was filmed by the friends and family of the performers from their homes across Europe. Exploring themes of interior worlds and confinement, the piece reflects the strange things that happen behind closed doors and around corners of familiar spaces. It is a journey in memories still present, until your hidden place becomes your prison.
Eterna – streaming 11am Fri 11th – midnight 13th June 2021
https://vimeo.com/jasminvardimoncompany/eterna
Choreographed by Anthony Matsena. Eterna is the beginning of a revolt against injustice in a world engulfed in anarchy. The work is in constant tension between order, chaos and morality. When faced with injustice, brutality and extreme loss, we must choose whether we give in to evil and endure, or we rise and fight for what we love and believe in.
