Brazil’s Deborah Colker is not a Woman to shirk a challenge. Past works have seen her build a Ferris wheel and an entire house on the Barbican stage, so a production involving a forest of 120 ropes and a transparent glass box is hardly likely to faze her. And with Knot, she once again proves herself a mistress of the props, tying her dancers up in tricky variations that in lesser hands could look clunky and cumbersome. Yet Colker mines a brutal elegance from images of captivity.
