AKRAM KHAN

Acclaimed choreographer Akram Khan has developed a distinct voice as an advocate of cross-cultural encounters through his own lineage of classical Indian Kathak and contemporary dance. In his latest work, GIGENIS: The generation of the Earth, Khan shares the stage with a distinguished ensemble of classical Indian dance artists, including Kutiyattam artist Kapila Venu, Bharatanatyam soloists Mavin Khoo and  Mythili Prakash, and the Bharatanatyam duo Vijna Vasudevan and Renjith Babu.

Khan invokes memories across time and place to celebrate these artists’ collective love of dance. Drawing from his deep-seated connection to ritual practices and his ability to weave narratives through movement, GIGENIS: The generation of the Earth is a testament to the enduring resonance of tradition in a rapidly changing world.
