Taking place in the theatre dressing room of every show Kally and Steinvor have ever been in -past, present and future- Revel is a funny and moving new show fusing dance, physical theatre, dialogue and music.
A 60+ coming of age story
Moving between their real backstage relationship as they get ready (they are always getting ready) and their surreal inner worlds, two dancers reflect on life in their 60s, with all its losses, gains and adjustments. These acclaimed Scottish performers navigate their memories and the shifting realities of their bodies and minds with wry humour as they prepare to step once more onto the stage.
In a world where we battle with who we are told to be, who we wish we were, and who we actually are, Revel reflects on learning to accept and embrace ourselves as we are now.
Revel is a brand new show marking the long-awaited return of Scotland’s renowned Company Chordelia, whose previous productions including The Chosen, Nijinsky’s Last Jump and Dance Derby garnered rave reviews and played to audiences across Scotland and beyond.
