Michael Clark: Mmm, Dome Concert Hall, Brighton, May 19

6:00am Saturday 19th May 2007

Nudity, rubber kilts and even, according to one reviewer, dancers dressed as lavatories: it could only be a work by the notorious Michael Clark, the punk choreographer whose works have been known to involve everything from sex toys to giant pornographic sculptures.

Just over a year after the Brighton performance of O, here the choreographer returns with the second instalment in The Stravinsky Project, a trilogy of works commissioned by London's Barbican in which he reinterprets three ballet scores by the composer.

Just as O was a reworking of his 1994 production, Mmm, a response to Stravinsky's The Rite Of Spring, was first staged in 1992, when most critics agreed to call it a masterpiece. The original company even included Clark's mother, a retired nurse in her late 60s with no previous experience of contemporary dance.

Expanded to a company of 12 dancers, Mmm is now billed as "a brutal and highly physical affirmation of life" exploring themes of birth, life, death and renewal via "relentless and sexually charged" choreography. It begins with a prologue set to the music of Public Image Ltd and Wire, with costumes by Leigh Bowery, while the main work uses Stravinsky's rearrangement for piano duet.

"I'm always tweaking things," Clark has commented of Mmm, "but it is good, at some point, to say you have finished something. This is probably the most finished thing I've ever done."
