There's headbanging and air guitar in it.

 

[JimW]

Performed by the Bolshie Ballet?

 

[Santino]

Is it Edinburgh Fringe season already?

 

[Knotted]

Looks a bit naff to be honest. Good idea but demands interesting choreography.

 

[Hollis]

Should be an interesting crossover audience..

 

[Epona]

I like Sabbath, I like ballet, but they are not the same thing iykwim.

 

[WouldBe]

Should be an interesting crossover audience..

Will they have to have a 'home' and 'away' end.

I watched an interview with the Cuban guy who is the director, amazing background, this could be great even if it's shit, good on him

 

[Ax^]

thought ozzy had died ]


with band members of black sabbatt being on the telly

 

[ska invita]

this is thing i watched, very much a product of cuban socialism, well worth hearing his story

 

[dessiato]

I'd like to see it. I like modern dance and I like Sabbath.

It’s going to be dreadful - like popular songs sung by opera singers with crisp enunciation

Puts me in mind of Jimmy Pursey’s interpretive dance moment:

I saw Pursey doing a dance thing at The Elephant Fayre I think, it was as weird as you'd think it would be. IRRC , it was Pursey , dancing , with 2 drummers beating the skins .

 

[Hollis]

Didnt anyone see this?

I went yes at Sandler's Wells.

I am in no position to comment on the dancing.

It was quite amusing the mix of folk in the audience... Some hard core Sabbath fans in their leathers mixed with ballet 'types'..

I enjoyed it.. some of the songs worked really well with the dancing.. Some of the attempts at a narrative seemed slightly overblown..

All in all very glad I went...enjoyable and one-off
experience.
