Variété is a remarkable music theatre piece originally written, directed and performed by Lindsay Kemp with his internationally renowned company. This is the first time that Kemp has allowed an independent company to produce one of his works; it is directed by Kinny Gardner, a soloist in the Kemp Company for over twenty years, who was in the original cast.

Carlos Miranda is a muti award winning Chilean composer now living in Spain; he was resident composer for Ballet Rambert for many years and has written music for many Lindsay Kemp productions.
