Tocororo: A Cuban Tale

Carlos Acosta

In a series of stunning black and white images, Tocororo: A Cuban Tale follows the creation of Carlos Acosta's first piece of dance theatre as choreographer and star, from its rehearsals and world premiere in Cuba to its sell-out debut at London's Sadlers Wells theatre.

Angela Taylor's magnificent photographs capture the immediacy and excitement of the show as it goes into rehearsal in Havana. At the end of the book, 32 pages of colour images reproduce the electrifying energy and passion of Tocororo as it explodes onto the London stage.
