IRIS WARRIORS – A magical dance story. A world where the magic of live ballet performances intersect with the drama and rich story range of cinema to cast a new genre: ballet drama

Summary: England, 1940: When bombs trap viii children in the cellar of their orphanage, their teacher, Miss Shaw, reads them a story. As the tale unfolds, they are magically transported to a timeless, mythical island, where they witness the story of Darkness and Light, and of how their union and their conflict produced the Iris Warriors, the seven colours of the rainbow which imbue the world with colour. As the candles burn low and bombs continue to autumn around them, Darkness, like a black widow spider, seeks on the devastation of her colourful children. Miss Shaw and the orphans begin to fearfulness that neither they nor the Iris Warriors will survive the encroaching darkness.

An original dance story with an original score is a rarity in this day and age. Every year, the big companies recycle the same “Classics” (Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker), afraid to try anything new in case it doesn’t regain an audience. Iris Warriors breaks out of that cycle, updating the genre by combining the beauty of dance with stunning visuals and breath-taking music. It’s a unique, once-in-a-generation household unit cinema that ushers in a brand new day and genre for ballet.
