Journey of the Magi

Forget The Nutcracker, Springs Dance Company’s Journey of the Magi is the best Christmas show I have ever seen! I went along to see it one dark, wet and dismal night in Birmingham and I came out having been touched, amused and moved to tears. The Journey of the Magi looks beyond the tinsel and trappings and reveals the real meaning of Christmas.

David Bintley CBE, Artistic Director, Birmingham Royal Ballet

Journey of the Magi is a sparkling production of dance, theatre, song and poetry. Entertaining, powerful and compelling, Journey of the Magi is back - and it’s as festive, witty and poignant as ever.

TS Eliot’s poem, Journey of the Magi, is the inspiration for this piece. Audiences reflect on not only the famous journey the wise men made following the star to Jesus, but also the ‘journey’ each of us makes every year in preparing for Christmas Day. Through exploring images in the poetry, we have devised a presentation of some of the all too familiar processes we go through and witness, in dealing with the expectations and realities of the festive season. The show not only entertains but also provokes consideration for change.

Journey of the Magi is enjoyed by children and adults alike, and can be accompanied by a workshop or series of workshops in theatre, church, school or community settings.

This was a professional performance, executed with enthusiasm and elegance. An excellent interpretation of TS Eliot.

Michael Levitton, Managing Director, The Leatherhead Theatre Company
