Bourne’s magical dance production of
Edward Scissorhands has carved a
place in the hearts of audiences worldwide since its premiere in 2005. Based on
the classic Tim Burton movie and featuring the hauntingly beautiful music of
Danny Elfman and Terry Davies, Bourne and his New Adventures Company return to
this witty, bittersweet story of an incomplete boy left alone in a strange new
world. Filmed live in March 2024 at the Wales Millenium Centre, Cardiff, this
’visually arresting and ceaselessly inventive’ (Metro) production is ‘the perfect treat for all the family’ (The Times).
In a castle
high on a hill lives Edward; a boy created by an eccentric inventor. When his
creator dies he is left alone and unfinished with only scissors for hands until
a kindly townswoman invites him to live with her suburban family. Can Edward
find his place in the well-meaning community which struggles to see past his
curious appearance to the innocence and gentleness within?
