An internationally renowned dance-circus company is set to perform at the Jersey Opera House next week.
Every week, Express presents a selection of exhibitions, performances, workshops, events and other historic, creative, sporty and delicious content to help islanders get their weekly dose of culture.
Here’s this week’s offering…
Motionhouse
Dance-circus company Motionhouse is performing its jaw-dropping production ‘Hidden‘ at the Opera House next week.
Hidden explores how, in an increasingly divided world, light can come out of darkness in times of crisis.
Motionhouse is famous for combining live performance and digital integration – with gravity-defying choreography, an emotive soundscape, a shape-shifting set and projections – to create an immersive world on stage.
The dance company is performing in Jersey on Thursday 23 April at 7.30pm and Friday 24 April at 1.30pm and 7.30pm.
More information and tickets can be found online.

RNLI Jersey is holding a charity car wash on Sunday 19 April at Albert Pier from 10am to 1.30pm.
A minimum donation of £5 is requested, with proceeds supporting the lifeboat service’s work. Cake and refreshments will also be available for purchase.
Organisers advise arriving before 1.15pm, as high demand may lead to some vehicles being turned away.
