An intimate, imaginary portrait of
an extraordinary character.
Gloria Days saw Rees return triumphantly to the
stage with a theatrical work that was his most
flamboyant and ambitious project to date.
With the support of a world-class creative team
that included opera designer John Macfarlane and
Berlin dance duo Rubato, Rees created an imaginative,
compelling and moving piece of dance theatre inspired
by an extraordinary character– the 5th Marquis
of Anglesey, Henry Cyril Paget.
Known as ‘The Dancing Marquis’, Paget
challenged and subverted Edwardian notions of class,
gender, decorum and theatrical propriety. His fantastical
lifestyle and subsequent unglamorous downfall provided
the focus for this unique multi-disciplinary solo
work.
