The touching and captivating work for 11 dancers was named after a giant tortoise called Lonesome George from the Galápagos Islands. It was originally thought that this tortoise, was the last of its subspecies. That wasn’t the case, however, as others were later found on nearby islands. “The story of George is a metaphor for my ballet. The dancers seem to be alone, too, but that’s not true either. There is always hope. Loneliness is central to the tragedy of humanity. The human body is a prison; we are constrained by our inability to step out of our bodies".
