Revisor – Kidd Pivot
Click here for tickets : tv subscription

 Revisor is a true hybrid of contemporary theatre and dance.  It is the critically acclaimed dance-theatre performance created by award-winning choreographer Crystal Pite and playwright Jonathon Young, based on Nikolai Gogol’s play The Government Inspector.
​
Young and Pite revise an archetypal comic plot to serve as the basis for a production that blends contemporary theatre and dance. It explores conflict, comedy and corruption in the potent relationship between language and the body. In Revisor eight Kidd Pivot dancers (Kidd Pivot is Crystal Pite’s dance company) embody the recorded dialogue of some of Canada’s finest actors, exploring conflict, comedy and corruption in the potent relationship between language and the body.

Revisor reunites the creators of the international theatre hit Betroffenheit (winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production 2017 and named Best Dance Show of the 21st century by The Guardian) with director Jeff Tudor  who won the Rose d’Or (Arts), Golden Prague Czech Crystal, and the Dance Screen and San Francisco Dance Film Festival awards for his capture of Betroffenheit for the BBC.

Revisor was recorded during its run at Sadler’s Wells, London, in March 2020, just days before the production’s world tour was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
