THE IRREPRESSIBLES ..FABULOUS NEW ALBUM & 3 NEW SUPER HOT SHOWS!!!!
Fresh back from a hugely successful sell out tour of Germany, Denmark and Austria where we staged the finale of their iconic MIRROR MIRROR spectacle, THE IRREPRESSIBLES are currently busy recording their second and much anticipated new album NUDE before embarking on another European tour in the fall centred this time around Italy and France where we will present 2 of their 3 spectacular new shows NUDE & THE HUMAN ZEOTROPE.
The World premiere of the third and biggest new show the HUMAN MUSIC BOX will be staged at the prestigious Holland Festival in early Summer, the 3 performances sold out as soon as the tickets were made available at the beginning of this year – a record for the Festival. If you weren’t one of the lucky ones to catch a ticket for the Holland premiere you can still get to see the equally striking HUMAN ZEOTROPE in Italy in Sesto Al Reghena on August 6th or Andria on August 28th or the sexually charged NUDE in France in Paris on September 22nd or in Nantes on November 25th and again in Italy in Rome on November 30th…..more confirmed dates followed shortly.
We hope you can join us on this musical extravaganza……..

PERFORMANCE FOR THE KING OF QATAR
LAVISH recently returned from the majestic desert peninsula of Qatar on the Arabian Gulf where they were invited to collaborate with ground breaking international event producers WRG to create a spectacular show for their grand inauguration event for Qatar Gas.
The production of this multimedia cross cultural performance was attended by a plethora of VIP guests from the state of Qatar including his royal highness the Emir of Qatar as well as Chinese officials and World Press.
The Emir of Qatar opened the televised show by striking a giant gong which triggered a host of colourful graphic effects that appeared to awaken the performers into dramatic action.
Incorporating the world largest musion screen with live performance and music, spectacular multi-media effects seemed to spring out of the artists instruments and limbs spiralling around them creating a hyper-real world in which they performed within.
Lavish commissioned world famous Joji Hirota (musical director for The Lindsay Kemp Dance Co, co- composer for the Royal Shakespeare Company) to compose a unique fusion drumming piece for the show. The audience was treated to a dynamic rendition performed live by his Japanese Taiko group Hiten Ryu Daiko and Qatar’s famous Pearl drumming group.
Lavish also commissioned the award winning dance troupe, Jilin dance Company who travelled from China to perform live in front of the captive audience, a spectacular ribbon dance staged in front of a stunning filmic backdrop – a lyrical way of reflecting the Asian and Middle Eastern business alliance.
Lavish is delighted that WRG appreciated their work just as much as we have appreciated theirs “WRG would like to sincerely thank you for your role in the Laffan Refinery inauguration event. Throughout the whole process you have been fantastic, from finding us brilliant performers to always being such a reliable point of contact in some of the more trying of times! Your hard work, flexibility and professionalism onsite were also greatly appreciated and without which we wouldn’t have had such a fantastic opening sequence. The ribbon dance performance was equally amazing and both performances received lots of praise from all in attendance. It was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with you and will hopefully be working with you in the future.”
Lavish would like to thank WGR for these kind words and look very much forward to working with WRG again in the future.
