Virginia Woolf defied literary convention to depict a rich inner world – her heightened, startling and poignant reality. Resident choreographer Wayne McGregor leads a distinguished team of artists to evoke Woolf’s signature stream-of-consciousness writing in this vast work that rejects traditional narrative structures.
