Live music and recorded effects 

A solo performance with musicians in which Akram Khan conjures up the Hindu gods. For almost ten years now, dancer and choreographer Akram Khan has been one of the main architects of the revival of British dance. For his new work, this Anglo-Bengali prodigy has immersed himself in kathak, the classical dance of northern India, in which movement alternates with narrative, for a stunning solo performance with five musicians. A dazzling journey.
