    Mars and Venus and The Loves of Pygmalion

    St Magnus Festival
    Orkney

    Lesley-Anne performs with the The Weaver Ensemble – Baroque Dance with a twist!

    Set on the stage of London’s Drury Lane Theatre in 1717, The Loves of Mars & Venus tells the story of how the English choreographer, John Weaver, fought to achieve his dream of creating a proper dance drama in a world which saw dance as a frivolous (if lucrative) sideline. Weaver uses the story of the love affair between Venus, the goddess of love, and Mars, the god of war, and the revenge of her husband, the god Vulcan, to create the first modern ballet.

    (This act is entirely based on historical fact.)
