This week's new theatre and dance
Lyn Gardner
Stephen Joseph Theatre, Thu to 15 Oct
Brewhouse, Fri to 11 Sep
Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui started reading comics aged 14, especially those by the "god of manga" Osama Tezuka. It's Tezuka's rich fantasy world - a mix of science fiction, philosophy and myth-making - that has inspired his latest work. Created in collaboration with composer Nitin Sawhney and video artist Taiki Ueda, TeZukA celebrates the artistry of the master. The dancers' bodies trace the physical evolution of Tezuka's cartoons while Sawhney's score builds up complex narrative music out of simple sounds, percussion and Japanese koto.
Sadler's Wells, EC1, Tue to 10 Sep
