Dream Girls in Savoy Theatre from November

Dream Girls

The premiere of the musical Dream Girls, inspired by R&B music from the sixties was performed at the Savoy Theatre on 19 November 2016. Amber Riley is playing the lead role of Effie White from a singing trio called The Dreams, where singers from the American city of Chicago struggle with various difficulties to be encountered in the world of show business. The musical includes a lot of famous songs such as the well-known track Listen.

 

The Lion King

For the younger audience, but also their parents, the best choice will without a doubt be the legendary musical The Lion King from the creative minds at Disney. Special effects, colourful stage sets and in particular the touching story of the lion cub Simba will ensure that you have an unforgettable experience. The rhythms of Africa can be heard until February 2017 at the Lyceum Theatre. The music was composed by Elton John and Hans Zimmer even participated in the musical’s creation. The musical premiered on Broadway back in 1997 and since that time, every show has been sold out, so book your tickets in good time.

Mamma Mia

Another of the legendary shows is the cheerful and sunny musical Mamma Mia at the Novello Theatre. The romantic story of the young Sophie, who is looking for her father, is set on a Greek island, accompanied by famous songs by ABBA. This comedy musical has already been entertaining audiences for 17 years and it is certain to attract people of all ages.

Song of Song, 2005 (Brühl, Německo)

Ethereal beauty

Jaume Plensa is currently probably one of the most famous Catalonian sculptors on the contemporary creative scene. Despite the fact that he is in particular famous for his ethereal sculptures in open public places, the artist does work with a very diverse range of media. He for example uses video projections, acoustic equipment or interesting lighting to complete the overall impression of his works.

 

A combination of two worlds

For his works, Plensa uses various materials such as stainless steel, iron, bronze, alabaster or wood. Despite the seeming heaviness of these materials, his sculptures come across as light and airy, verging on the etherical. These features are present in his most famous works. His sculptures of human bodies or the faces of angelically beautiful girls in particular evoke lightness, inner peace and a connection to the soul. The sculptures come across as pensive, or even absent, as if they had escaped into an inner world. Use of light points emphasises the translucency and previously mentioned airiness.

A literary link with substance

The sculptor is frequently inspired by literature, in particular the poetry of world-famous authors such as Shakespeare or Goethe, and he projects literary works into his works by displaying individual letters, words or short passages. He thus provides reference to the value of language and the possible emptiness of individual letters which do not make sense until formed into whole words. Plensa’s works display hope, beauty and the link between the inner and outer world of the individual.

A trip to enjoy some art

You will find the most interesting installations which are currently on display in the German city of Brühl or the Swedish city of Sältevo. An exhibition is being prepared from the second half of November in Barcelona. From February 2017, Jaume Plensa will be exhibiting in New York and the Korean city of Seoul in other public places. All of these locations are certainly worth a visit, even thanks to their other attractions, so organise a sight-seeing trip to enjoy some art and draw inspiration.
