00:00 Hello, I'm Claire.
00:07 And I'm Ishan, and we are performing in Schakomat, which means checkmate in German, a piece by
00:14 Cayetano Soto.
00:17 It will be performed at the Theatre Royal next week and then on to Aberdeen and Edinburgh
00:22 in October.
00:23 Schakomat is an incredibly eclectic piece of dance.
00:26 It's for 10 performers, and the music is pretty awesome.
00:32 It's about the games that we play in our lives, and we have a lot of fun on stage.
00:38 Come and see us!
00:38 Yes!
