johnross Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 A very full evening for once and full of variety as Akram Khan reacts to various characters especially a little boy. What stamina and creativity. Akram Khan in Desh Akram Khan in Desh Akram Khan in Desh More pictures on www.johnrossballetgallery.co.uk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridiem Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I was at Sadler's Wells last night. DESH is a work of such incredible imagination, depth, beauty, humour, pathos and humanity. With Akram Khan at its (wildly beating) heart. His dancing is superb and he commands the stage whether moving or still. The work explores ideas relating to identity, family, love, myth, death, loss, anger, faith; and it uses theatre (magnificent design and lighting), dance and music to their maximum potential. During the performance the audience was silent in total absorption in and response to Khan; it then erupted in a huge standing ovation for him. I am so sad that this won't be performed again, but so grateful to have seen it both in 2011 and now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I was overwhelmed when I saw it at The Lowry a couple of years ago and feel privileged to have seen it. Akram Khan has an almost mystical quality about his movement and I wish I had had more chances to see him dance over the years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
