CARLOS ACOSTA: ON BEFORE
Theatre Royal Plymouth
The audience at Theatre Royal Plymouth gave him three curtain calls and applauded for about five minutes after his astonishing performance of Carlos Acosta: On Before.
At the end of all that clapping they must have been almost as bushed as he was following 135 minutes of intense and mesmerising dance. Not that the statuesque and, indeed, ripped Cuban dance superstar looked it.
Carlos Acosta is nearly 51 years old and here he was on stage, topless, exploring the limits of physicality when most men of his vintage are on the sofa, in a hoodie, exploring a 140g bag of Wotsits. But, it's not all about Acosta and his amazing physique and technique; On Before is a captivating, delicate and even heartbreaking realisation of a relationship, and partly inspired by the death of his mother.
