We are delighted to present this double bill in association with Rambert and to host the World Premiere of Gallery of Consequence at the Festival Theatre.

Life has a way of surprising us, like getting stuck in traffic, waking up on the wrong side of the bed, or running into an ex. It’s the delicate balance between the plans we make and the twists we never see coming. KISMET brings together two heartfelt works that reflect on the unpredictable and deeply human experience we all share.

Gallery of Consequence
Airports are unusual places. Every gate tells a story, and every departure marks a choice. In Gallery of Consequence, choreographer Emma Evelein reflects on the moments that shape our lives. With striking sounds and visuals, Rambert’s dancers bring to life the chaos, quiet, and connections we find in transit in this moving new piece.

B.R.I.S.A.
Inspired by the Spanish word for "breeze", Johan Inger’s B.R.I.S.A. is a joyful whirlwind of movement, music, and humour. With leaf blowers propelling the action and a killer soundtrack (featuring Nina Simone), this iconic work explores how the smallest shifts can spark transformation. Rambert’s dancers bring warmth, playfulness, and dynamic energy to a piece that celebrates the beauty of breaking free.

Age guidance: Suitable for all, recommended for ages 12+ for the best experience

KISMET is produced in association with Capital Theatres. This production is made possible thanks to the support of the Rambert Commissioning Circle. Gallery of Consequence was generously supported by The Thistle Trust.
