Assembly Hall @ SIDC

From the visionary team behind the Olivier Award-winning Betroffenheit comes Assembly Hall, the latest genre-defying work by Crystal Pite and Jonathon Young.

Performed by Kidd Pivot, this dance-theater hybrid follows a medieval re-enactment society's annual meeting.

As their beloved 'Quest Fest' faces financial ruin, the line between reality and role-playing blurs—ancient forces awaken, and the stakes become far more than a mock tournament.

Hailed by The Guardian as “astonishingly beautiful,” the work masterfully contrasts light with darkness, absurdity with raw emotion, and mundanity with collective fantasy.

With Pite’s breathtaking choreography and Young’s sharp, witty text, Assembly Hall becomes a touching rumination on purpose, grief, and belonging.

Don't miss this radically original, mind-expanding experience from one of contemporary dance’s most acclaimed companies.
