Allí conoceremos a la gata blanca Victoria y a Old Deuteronomy, quien decide qué felino será el elegido. También al misterioso Mr. Mistoffelees, al rockero Rum Tum Tugger o al refinado Bustopher Jones, junto a Grizabella, Macavity, Jennyanydots, Gus y Bombalurina.

Eliot.

Rajah / The Caterpillar

The diversity of Wayne McGregor's astonishing talent is demonstrated through Chroma, Infra and Limen, each created for The Royal Ballet, for whom he is resident choreographer. Intimate yet universal, light yet dark, frenetic yet lyrical, McGregor pursues his passion for exploring the inner workings of the human body and mind, his many-layered and beautiful dances providing visual, sensual and kinaesthetic stimulus for the viewer. Works: Chroma (Talbot; White III); Infra (Richter); Limen (Saariaho).
