Akram Khan and The National Ballet of China - Bahok

Bahok is the long awaited new group work by Akram Khan as he again joins forces with long-time collaborators, the acclaimed writer Hanif Kureishi, the multi award winning composer Nitin Sawhney, and a new company of nine dancers. Bahok is a partnership with China’s classical ballet flagship company, the National Ballet of China. The dancers come from different cultures, traditions and dance backgrounds: Chinese, Korean, Indian, South-African and Spanish.
As such they resemble a present day version of the tale of Babel, a community that wants to create a utopian project.
