What was that all about?

According to the programme, Random Dance Company's Amu "interrogates the biological, electrical and neurological aspects of the heart". What did the audience make of John Tavener's music and Wayne McGregor's choreography?

Eugenie von Tunzelmann, 24, London: I didn't want huge red and pink valentine hearts everywhere, but I failed to see much there concerning the heart.

Sarah Cartwright, 27, Adelaide, Australia: I enjoyed some of the movement, but I was waiting for the heart imagery. The dancers racing around suggested a ventricle, and there was a drumbeat, but I was hoping it would be a bit more medical.

Nkechi Williams, 36, Deptford: The visuals were very strong and it became more passionate in the second half. I felt it was about the struggle of life, breaking free and ultimately dying.
