Sadler's Wells Digital Stage: Hussein Chalayan—Gravity Fatigue

May 25 – June 5, 2020
Rosebery Ave, Clerkenwell, London EC1R 4TN, United Kingdom

What happens when one of the world’s supreme avant-garde fashion designers decides to make a dance? Here’s one answer: Hussein Chalayan’s Gravity Fatigue, a collaboration with the Belgian choreographer Damien Jalet. The piece premiered in 2015 and brims with ideas, no surprise given Chalayan’s brilliance. Whether or not it holds together as theater, that’s for you to decide. But it’s said to be spectacular. —L.J.
