Akram Khan, Classical Indian Dance Reimagined

Akram Khan, Director and Choreographer

“One of Europe’s most charismatic dance talents.” The Guardian (U.K.)

“I am excited and humbled to be back on stage and direct six extraordinary soloist artists from all generations. GIGENIS is a profound tribute to that reflection, a  reconciliation between the past and the present times, a genuine celebration of our collective love for dance – boundless, timeless, as well as deeply rooted.” – Akram Khan

Returning to his roots to curate his first ensemble piece showcasing Indian classical dance, choreographer Akram Khan shares the stage with six renowned dancers and seven live musicians. Evoking our civilization’s collective memories, GIGENIS represents not just a performance but a profound statement – a testament to the enduring resonance of tradition in a rapidly changing world.
