At 85 years old, the dancer KOJIMA Shoji is a living legend and still-sparkling star in the Flamenco world. Now he says his latest production, “The Scream”, was inspired by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch’s eponymous work that he saw at the National Gallery in Oslo in 2016. He then created this piece, which combines songs by some of the many great artists whose work he has danced to through his long career. So, in this special one-off solo event at SPAC, Kojima will draw on all this and more to explore such issues as life and death, love, artistic anguish and the absurdities of daily life. You are warned!
