Tickets for Akram Khan Company/National Ballet of China - bahok
Sadler's Wells Theatre, Inner London
Dance or ballet:
bahok is the eagerly anticipated collaboration between Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist
Akram Khan and the
National Ballet of China. After creating intimate duets with
Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (zero degrees) and
Sylvie Guillem (Sacred Monsters),
Akram Khan now works with nine dancers, as five performers from his own kathak-contemporary company go head-to-head with four classically-trained dancers from the
National Ballet of China.
bahok, named after a Bengali word meaning ‘carrier’ explores the ways in which the body carries national identity and a sense of belonging. Khan’s dancers come from diverse cultures, traditions and dance backgrounds - Chinese, Korean, Indian, South-African and Spanish - and this rich mix of both spoken and dance language pushes the boundaries of movement vocabulary. Khan once again joins forces with two long-time collaborators, acclaimed writer
Hanif Kureishi and multi award-winning composer
Nitin Sawhney, who will create an original score for bahok. Part of China Now
