A performance capture of REVISOR: the latest critically acclaimed dance-theatre production created by award-winning choreographer Crystal Pite and playwright Jonathon Young. Young and Pite revise an archetypal comic plot (Nikolai Gogol's The Government Inspector) to serve as the basis for a production that blends contemporary theatre and dance. In Revisor, eight incredible dancers embody the recorded dialogue of some of Canada's finest actors, exploring conflict, comedy and corruption in the potent relationship between language and the body. Revisor reunites the creators of the international hit Betroffenheit (winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production 2017) with director Jeff Tudor, who won the Rose d'Or (Arts), Golden Prague Czech Crystal, Dance Screen and San Francisco Dance Film Festival awards for his capture of Betroffenheit for the BBC. Revisor was recorded during its run at Sadler's Wells, London, in March 2020.
