Tip Toe - Lost Letters - Lucía Lacarra Ballet

Dance by the Lucía Lacarra Ballet company, choreographed by Matthew Golding, inspired by a real letter from the First World War and by what would happen if it never reached its addressee.

Lost Letters is a ballet by the company Lucía Lacarra Ballet, created by the Spanish dancer Lucía Lacarra, presented under the title Tip Toe - Lost Letters. It is the first piece choreographed by Matthew Golding and is performed by ten dancers who combine classical ballet technique with innovative, dynamic choreography.

The work takes as its starting point a real letter that Frank Bracey, a gunner in the First World War, wrote to his wife, Win. From the front, letters of this kind served as a vital link between soldiers and their families. The ballet asks what would have changed for her had that letter never reached her hands, and turns this real event into an original storyline.

The musical selection accompanies a staging that reflects on lost connections and the power of communication. It is a dance production designed for audiences of all ages, staged at the Teatro del Soho CaixaBank.
