Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Sawhney

Drei Werke von Akram Khan, Johan Inger und Itzik Galili schaffen einen atemberaubenden Abend.

A show where the whole School was the star. 

When Nitin Sawhney envisioned a theatrical realisation of his album Dystopian Dream, Sébastien Ramirez and Honji Wang were commissioned to bring it to life on stage. Joined by singer Eva Stone, the result is a hybrid production of dance and music performances.

Akram Khan revives his first full evening work, Kaash (2002) at London’s Sadler’s Wells.  

Expressive dancers explore diversity within a conceived structure, though its fragmented tone challenges cohesion.   

Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’s new work takes its inspiration and title from Japan’s foremost comic book or ‘manga’ artist, Osamu Tezuka, (1928-1989). Revered in Japan, Tezuka is often described as the East’s answer to Walt Disney, yet the work of this doctor turned animator is significantly more complex and sophisticated.

Vertical Road is Akram Khan’s latest contemporary ensemble work in which he focuses on spirituality and the question of faith. The Vertical Road of the title is the sacred road, the path of ascent, as opposed to the secular life of the horizontal road.
