Back

Finally back in town after a short break in Paris.
Some catching up to do blog wise.
Here we go.

The night before i left for France, i went to see an amazing show
at the Sadler's Well.The performance was Akram Kahn's latest
show in collaboration with the National Ballet of china called Bahok.

Here's the pitch:
"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."

As usual, Khan managed to create an incredibly intimist and moving performance
filled with a mixture of humour, poetry and philosophy. A must see.
