The Red Shoes from Home has been created by the cast of the show during lockdown and they perform among children’s toys in their living rooms, on tables, in gardens and backyards, and in the kitchen.
One of the major dance productions cut short by the coronavirus crisis was Matthew Bourne’s tour of The Red Shoes, his rapturously received version of the Powell and Pressburger film.
A cinema screening of the production has been rescheduled for September, but in the meantime Bourne’s company New Adventures unveiled a special 12-minute film version online, allowing the Red Shoes company “to say one final farewell, with a flourish”.
The UK tour, which had originally been due to finish on Saturday, has been cancelled.
