7 h. ago Murmuration Level 2 review – mesmerising dance multiplies in tutting fractal forms

Peacock theatre, LondonStarting from a single dancer, an intricate moving patterns of limbs forms a complex weave of shifting patterns in Sadeck Berrabah’s technically impressive showThere’s no denying that it’s incredibly satisfying to watch a mass of bodies moving in unison. Every chorus line and corps de ballet knows it. It has been scientifically proven that we get pleasure from seeing bodies sync up, and French choreographer Sadeck Berrabah’s show, Murmuration Level 2, is on point when it comes to this. The show’s title refers to the mesmerising, morphing formations of flying birds, whole flocks coordinated seemingly by instinct. In this show, nothing has been left to instinct and these dancers have been drilled within an inch of their lives, creating intricate moving patterns. When an arm hits a 90 degree angle, it’s not 89, or 91, but bang on 90, all 30 dancers at exactly the same time. This is technically very impressive.Berrabah got his break with a viral YouTube video and ...

7 h. ago The best recent science fiction, fantasy and horror – review roundup

The Naked Light by Bridget Collins; Exiles by Mason Coile; Alchemised by SenLinYu; Saltcrop by Yume Kitasei; Big Time by Jordan ProsserThe Naked Light by Bridget Collins (Borough, £18.99)The latest from the bestselling author of The Binding is set in England and focuses on three “surplus women” after the first world war: bored, lonely Florence, her fey niece Phoebe, and Kit, a bohemian artist haunted by memories of wartime France, where she painted masks for wounded soldiers to wear over horrifically damaged faces. Their village is on the Sussex Downs, overlooked by an ancient face carved into the chalk, reputed to protect inhabitants from a hungry spirit. But since the death of the last member of the family traditionally bound to look after it, the face is fast disappearing beneath the grass, and something frightening is stirring in the land. Atmospheric, psychologically astute and beautifully realised, this is a brilliantly original literary take on folk horror.Exiles by Mason Coi...

7 h. ago Tosca review – punchy new Puccini rises above the ‘Shame on you’ Russian soprano protests

Royal Opera House, LondonOutrage over the casting of Anna Netrebko didn’t make it to the inside of the auditorium – where roars of approval greeted this high-stakes game of blood-spattered conflict directed by Oliver MearsAfter a summer of institutional mishaps to raise the pulse of the most hardened spin doctor, the Royal Ballet and Opera’s new season was audible far beyond the venue. “Shame on you,” chanted protesters over a powerful PA system outside. Some, standing amid yellow and blue flags, simply held placards. “Art is not neutral,” read one. And indeed it isn’t, though opera’s entanglements in international geopolitics are rarely as visible as at Covent Garden in recent months. “It feels like crossing a picket line,” a colleague muttered grimly.But modern opera houses are well soundproofed. By the first interval of Oliver Mears’ new production of Puccini’s Tosca with Russian soprano Anna Netrebko in the title role, the protesters had dispersed. Controversial as Netrebko’s ca...
