They're lauded as one of the best bands in the world and now fans of English five-piece Radiohead can experience tracks such as "Fitter Happier" in a whole new format: ballet. Ride The Beast, a new dance production by choreographer Stephen Petronio, will debut at the Edinburgh International Festival this August. "Radiohead's music is a brilliant investigation of achingly modern taste," Petronio said. "They sail through genre and form effortlessly and passionately and their music demands a physical response from me that bypasses reason. I simply have to work with music I love." Petronio has previously based ballets on the likes of Rufus Wainwright, James Lavelle, Wire, Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed.
