The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady
‘A joyful celebration of movement [...] it’s a delight to be caught up in it, swept up in a wave with the simple pleasure of synchrony, community and great music.’ – The Guardian
Celebrate the sensuality and power of jazz. Share the floor with a company of outstanding dancers and a 12-piece live band as Clod Ensemble and Nu Civilisation Orchestra join together to present Charles Mingus’ iconic 1963 masterpiece, The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, widely considered to be one of the greatest records of all time.
Lose yourself in the music, get up and dance or take a seat and soak up the atmosphere with a drink. Everyone, including wallflowers, is welcome.
Supported using public funding through Arts Council England’s National Portfolio programme.
The original production premiered at Shoreditch Town Hall as part of EFG London Jazz Festival, was generously supported by Postcode Society Trust, Cockayne – Grants for the Arts & the London Community Foundation, Hackney Council’s Shoreditch & Hoxton Art Fund, Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation and Hinrichsen Foundation.
