Costume design for UniVerse: A Dark Crystal Odyssey, a contemporary dance piece performed by Company Wayne McGregor.

A moving meditation on the climate crisis, exploring themes of exploitation, destruction, apathy and ultimately hope. Originally inspired by The Dark Crystal, Jim Henson’s cult fantasy movie about an ailing planet and a divided race, this piece depicts an earth riven by extremes and urgently in need of healing.

Immersive digital environments and cutting-edge costumes create a stunning blend of fantasy and documentary, while high tensile choreography in dialogue with spoken word, powerfully evokes the inseparability of humanity and nature. This is a modern eco-myth that asks how we can come together to be whole again.

A co-production between Studio Wayne McGregor and The Royal Ballet in association with The Jim Henson Company.
