“One of the most influential choreographers of his generation.” The Guardian (U.K.)
A defining choreographer of the 21st century, Akram Khan has transformed contemporary dance through works of extraordinary emotional power and cross cultural imagination. In Thikra, Khan unites an international cast of female dancers from contemporary dance and Bharatanatyam traditions in a vivid meditation on ritual, ancestry and collective memory. Created with acclaimed Saudi visual artist Manal AlDowayan, this immersive production arrives as Akram Khan Company embarks on what Khan has announced will be its final international tour.
