Cassa Pancho’s Ballet Black makes its debut at Theatre Royal Nottingham with an incredible double-bill.

First up is the darkly comic adaptation of international bestselling novel, My Sister, The Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite. When Korede gets a distress call from her sister Ayoola, she knows what to do: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel, and a strong stomach. It’s the third boyfriend Ayoola has killed in ‘self-defense,’ and the third mess Korede has to clean up. She should probably go to the police, but family comes first. Things change, though, when Ayoola starts dating the doctor Korede has loved for years. Korede can’t let him be the next victim – but saving him might mean betraying her sister… 

The double-bill is completed by Brooklyn-born, award-winning choreographer, Chanel DaSilva, making her British choreographic debut. Renowned for using the power of the arts to inspire change, her work has been commissioned by companies like The Washington Ballet, Parsons Dance Company, and Dallas Black Dance Theatre. DaSilva made history as the first Black woman to choreograph for The Joffrey Ballet. Her work delves into what it means to be human, with a focus on driving positive change in both the dance world and beyond. For her debut ballet for Cassa Pancho’s Ballet Black, DaSilva explores the intense practice of shadow work and how it can reveal our true selves.
