Amici: Our History

Amici Dance Theatre Company have unveiled a powerful exhibition Amici: Our History to be displayed alongside their upcoming new full-company production, Our Time, Wednesday 22 October - Saturday 25 October 2025 at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre.

Produced by Turtle Key Arts, both the exhibition and the production will pay tribute to the life and legacy of Amici’s late founder and artistic director Wolfgang Stange, who passed away in December 2024. Amici: Our History showcases the important work and impact of Amici and Wolfgang over 45 years. 

With candid photography of Wolfgang Strange and the company from Sheila Burnett and Shane Aurousseau, the living exhibition will provide an exciting and fascinating retrospective. Also included will be a series of audio interviews (to be experienced through headphones), produced, recorded and edited by Primo Digital Film Productions, showcasing the unique and inspiring stories of 20 different Amici members. Visitors can also share their own stories and experiences about Amici in an audio booth, complementing the spirit of Wolfgang’s strongly held beliefs in inclusion, collaboration and the creative potential of every individual, regardless of physical or emotional limitations. 

Our Time is a profoundly personal work conceived and began by Wolfgang in the final year of his life,  inspired by his extraordinary relationship with his lifelong partner, the renowned Sri Lankan artist George Beven, which Amici is completing in his honour. Infused with Amici’s signature blend of dance, theatre, circus and live music, it is a production full of colour, heartbreak and celebration. Exploring how society’s views on love, identity and belonging continue to evolve.

As Amici Dance Theatre Company steps into its next chapter, Our Time is both a celebration of all that has come before and a promise to carry forward Wolfgang Stange’s extraordinary legacy of inclusion and artistic courage. Our Time is directed by Michael Vale.
