Jasmin Vardimon’s ALiCE – a critically-acclaimed stage adaptation of Alice in Wonderland – comes to the Connaught Theatre in Worthing on Tuesday, January 16 at 7.30pm.

Spokeswoman Idgie Barnstorm said: “This performance at the Connaught Theatre marks the start of the 2024 tour of ALiCE before going on to tour internationally later in the year. “Award-winning choreographer Jasmin Vardimon’s creation is a re-imagining of the ground-breaking classic Alice in Wonderland and promises a sensory feast of arresting images, powerful performers and striking kinetic scenery. This performance has a parental advisory in place as the piece contains some adult themes and is advised for children aged seven and over.

“ALiCE tells the story of a woman, or perhaps a child, unsure of her identity or where she is going, escaping and exploring, discovering the powers within her changing body. The world around her is different, curious, and compelling – at times absolutely bonkers!

“Jasmin Vardimon is renowned for her uniquely theatrical choreographic and directorial style combining physical theatre, quirky characterisation, innovative technologies, text and dance. The Jasmin Vardimon Company is really looking forward to performing to the Worthing audiences and hope that they step into the curiosity of ALiCE and all that it brings to the stage. It tells a different story with each chapter and explores life stages with each turn. Let time stand still and enjoy the magic of ALiCE!”
