Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui/Bunkamura Theatre Cocoon’s ‘Pluto’

The Barbican presents the UK premiere of multi-award winning dancer, choreographer and director Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Bunkamura Theatre Cocoon’s Pluto. Based on Osamu Tezuka’s iconic tale Astro Boy, Pluto depicts a universe in which both humans and robots co-exist, yet find themselves in conflict, and examines what humans can learn from automatons.

The production stars many talented Japanese actors, including award-winning actor and dancer Mirai Moriyama, and uses a combination of dancers and elaborate puppets to create a high-energy staging faithful to the original story.

With astounding visual effects and powerful storytelling, this breath-taking performance is not to be missed.
