If you are looking for a highly skilled, innovative performance, look no further than Liv Lorent and balletLORENTs newest work. This professional production examines a young couples struggles while beginning their life with a baby.Examining love, lust, envy, fatigue, devotion and despair the two dancers take us through a physical whirlwind of balance, athleticism and mutuality that (even for this child-less reviewer) left the audience with tears in their eyes by the end. The passion and commitment the dancers give to the piece is felt from the furthest seat from the stage.Using a bed, a cot and a play mat Lorents choreography flows beautifully from scenario to scenario leaving me unusually disappointed by the curtain call that this wasnt a longer piece that allowed the dancers more of a chance to perform solo. Having said this, the low ticket price is clearly based on duration, not quality and therefore also makes this one of the best value-for-money shows I have seen this year.If you find yourself finishing lunch with half an hour to spare, head over to Zoo Roxy and buy a ticket for Blood, Sweat and Tears. You wont regret it.
