Adaptation, Direction & Choreography Sara Brodie
Featuring the New Zealand String Quartet

A theatrical tour de force, The Kreutzer combines dance-theatre, live classical music and an interactive audio-visual feast.

A portrayal of the depth and consequence of jealousy and lust, The Kreutzer centres on a man tormented by the haunting presence of his dead wife. Driven to confessing all, we journey into his corrupt and jealous past, to examine the divergent ways men and women often perceive each other.

The Kreutzer is based on The Kreutzer Sonata by Beethoven, a novella by Tolstoy (which was promptly censored and had him labelled a moral pervert) and Leoš Janácek’s first string quartet. The Kreutzer unites all three works breaking the confines between performance genres.
