Perceived through Egon's relationships with partners Wally Neuzil and Edith Schiele, as well as mentor Gustav Klimt, this work weaves compelling choreography, precise projection and a moving musical score to explore the legacy of these pioneering figures, laying bare themes of transcendence, tension and the search for truth

Set against the backdrop of fin-de-siécle Vienna, this is an atmospheric and affecting work shot through with dark, decadent sexuality

Developed with support from Lyric Hammersmith and The Point, Eastleigh
