Will Tuckett’s Nutcracker (The premiere has been cancelled)

 

This winter, the worlds of classical ballet and immersive theatre will fuse for the first time, as Will Tuckett’s Nutcracker receives its world premiere at The Printworks London, Canada Water. Starring Adam Cooper (Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake) as Uncle Drosselmeyer, the production will invite audience members to explore Tchaikovsky’s Christmas classic in a 360-degree immersive environment. Suitable for those aged 5 and over, this is Christmas fun for all the family.

The production will unite the best of classical ballet choreography with new immersive theatre techniques, allowing the audience to interact directly with the story and the characters. Offering an alternative to traditional Christmas entertainment, Will Tuckett’s Nutcracker at The Printworks gives you the chance to not just watch but live a fairytale adventure.

The Printworks is a short walk from Canada Water station, easily accessible from the Jubilee Line or London Overground.

Music

Musical Supervision and arrangements by Andy Massey and David White as well as New Symphonic Orchestrations by Will Stuart will allow you to hear Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker like never before. Under the Musical Direction of Andy Massey, 10 live players from the CHROMA Ensemble will be balanced with a full orchestral sound utilising new music technology.

Director and Choreographer Will Tuckett described the sound world as:

“a bit like if you car-crashed Danny Elfman into Tchaikovsky”

This accessible and filmic re-orchestration will support the immersive nature of the production brought to life with a surround sound audio system designed by Chris Full, a pioneer in the immersive sound world.
