New Shows for Spring/Summer 2021 at Sadler’s Wells London If there was one moment that stands out as a poignant symbol for The Arts during the pandemic, it was the screening of Dancing at Dusk. A mind-numbingly beautiful interpretation of The Rite of Spring by Pina Bausch danced by École des Sables, it should have been taken on a world tour last year. Instead, the 38 dancers from 14 African countries performed on the beach in Senegal. I do hope at some point the live production is reinstated and I can see it on stage. But for now, I’m delighted that Sadler’s Wells is reopening from 17th May – with seven productions scheduled between then and September.
