The Brighton Fringe, a vibrant celebration of art and performance, is coming to town in May! DIDO, a gender-fluid solo performance by Istanbul-based choreographer Korhan Basaran will be coming to the city this year.
Prepare to be enthralled by a fresh interpretation of the timeless story of heartbreak. Basaran’s innovative performance weaves together dance, theatre, and music, taking you on a mesmerizing 60-minute journey through themes of desire and betrayal.
DIDO at Brighton Fringe 2024: Inspiration
DIDO draws inspiration from the myth of Dido and Aeneas, but with a modern twist. Basaran reimagines the story of Carthage’s Queen Dido and the Trojan hero Aeneas, drawing upon the works of Christopher Marlowe (“Dido, Queen of Carthage”) and Virgil (“Dido and Aeneas”).
Basaran incorporates video projections and an original score featuring a unique interpretation of Henry Purcell’s famous lament. The result is a stunning visual and auditory tapestry that complements the powerful storytelling.
Korhan Basaran is a renowned performer and choreographer. Witness his artistry firsthand and expect nothing less than a captivating presence.
DIDO will be held at the Rotunda Theatre Bubble in Brighton:
- May 14th – 7:30 PM
- May 16th – 7:30 PM
- May 17th – 6 PM
Tickets are priced at £11 with concession tickets available for £8.
