Another thrilling read (What's on in London)
Victorian London, seventeenth-century Paris, Renaissance Venice and Montezuma's Mexico are the places where Hervé Jubert has choreographed his ballet, with the hand of a master ... the result is a devilish dance which confirms the exceptional talent of its creator.
