Presented by Eliot Smith DanceThursday 12 February, 7.30pm
Tickets From £15
Ages: 5+
Eliot Smith Dance makes a much-anticipated return to Queen's Hall with a bold reimagining of Eliot Smith’s POPPY — a powerful reflection on war, conflict, and sacrifice.
Originally premiered in 2018, POPPY has been newly envisioned for the spring 2026 season. Featuring a new original score by multi-award winning composer Adam Johnson and performed by five exceptional dancers, this evocative piece draws on the enduring symbolism of the poppy flower of John McCrae.
Presented at a time when global conflict remains ever-present and as the UK recently commemorated 80 years since Victory in Europe (VE) Day — POPPY is a poignant tribute to remembrance, resilience, and the human cost of war.
Don’t miss this moving and visually arresting performance from one of the UK’s leading contemporary dance companies.
Approx. 40mins plus free post show talk
