Based on the acclaimed English National Ballet production, choreographed by Akram Khan and directed by Academy Award-winning director Asif Kapadia (Senna, Amy, The Warrior), Creature is a genre-busting collaboration that fuses film and contemporary dance.

In a dilapidated former Arctic research station, Creature (Jeffrey Cirio) is unknowingly enlisted by a military brigade into an experimental programme. Creature meets and falls in love with Marie (Erina Takahashi), a cleaner who shows him kindness and compassion; together they dream of escape.

Creature takes inspiration from Georg Büchner’s seminal play Woyzeck and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. This vivid cinematic experience is a beautiful, tragic tale of an outsider’s search for belonging, the insatiable desires of the powerful, and the enduring hope found in human connection and compassion.

Director Asif Kapadia said: “I wanted Creature to be cinema, for people who love films, who love world cinema, the arts, but who perhaps have never seen dance, as well as fans of Akram Khan and English National Ballet.”
