Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Until the Lions

Three years after its première, Until the Lions returns to the Roundhouse, still an extraordinary theatrical experience: mesmerising, atmospheric, sensory and strangely sensual 

Until the Lions is an enriching experience. It is a gripping tale filled with action and physical action. Akram Khan and his creataive team take us into an alternative realm.

What's a woman to do when she loses agency over her body? Is gender just a construct? And at point does justice sour into something closer to revenge?

Akram Khan re-imagines a story from the Mahabharata by combining techniques of Indian classical dance and contemporary dance in a 360-degree setting.  

Akram Khan revient sur la scène contemporaine avec Until the Lions. Cette création marie de nouveau la danse contemporaine au kathak, danse traditionnelle du nord de l’Inde, dans une narration extraordinairement exaltante.
