S-E-D / Sharon Eyal - Delay the Sadness

A breathtaking journey that traverses life, emotion, and the fragility of joy.

Delay the Sadness is the latest creation by dancer and choreographer Sharon Eyal for S-E-D.

The piece marks the company’s return to Sadler’s Wells following their Olivier Award-winning performance Into the Hairy and immersive dance show R.O.S.E in 2025. S-E-D is joined by Josef Laimon as composer, following their successful collaboration on ima for GöteborgsOperans Danskompani.

Based in France, dance company S-E-D was born out of a decades-long creative collaboration between Eyal and her partner Gai Behar. Over the past two decades the pair have collaborated on projects with some of the leading dance venues across the globe, including the widely acclaimed trilogy Love Cycle.
