MESSAGE IN A BOTTLEMESSAGE IN A BOTTLE is the latest stage work from Kate Prince, whose renowned narrative choreography includes West End theatrical hits Some Like It Hip Hop, Into The Hoods and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. The production comprises contemporary and hip hop/street dance styles with breaking, locking and popping and features the astonishing talents of dance storytelling powerhouse, ZooNation: The Kate Prince Company.
The story of MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE was initially inspired by Sting’s track, Desert Rose. When a village alive with celebrations suddenly comes under siege, everything changes forever. Three siblings, Leto, Mati and Tana, must embark on perilous journeys in order to survive. This uplifting and poignant tale reflects on salient global tropes including displacement, immigration and survival (which are echoed in Sting’s lyrics, ‘an SOS to the world’), using high-energy footwork, uplifting set pieces and breath-taking athleticism, creating heartfelt entertainment with broadranging appeal. |
