About This Show
The Akram Khan Company is UK based with a truly global focus. Khan’s choreography is a dazzling fusion of classical Indian katak and western contemporary dance – dance that is bold, uninhibited, intelligent, inventive and challenging.
Following its Olivier Award in 2019 for Outstanding Achievement in Dance, Akram Khan returns to the stage, alongside five world-class musicians, to present the critically acclaimed XENOS. Shifting between classical kathak and contemporary dance, Khan conjures the shell-shocked dream of a colonial soldier in the First World War. Meaning
