Akram Khan Dance Company

Akram Khan's most personal work to date, DESH has been declared “a masterpiece” (The Observer) and won an Olivier Award for best new dance production.

Meaning “homeland” in Bengali, DESH draws on multiple tales of land, nation and resistance, all converging in the body and voice of one man trying to find his balance in an unstable world.

A collaboration with visual artist Tim Yip (production designer for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), award-winning lighting designer Michael Hulls, writer and poet Karthika Nair, Olivier Award-winning composer Jocelyn Pook and slam poet PolarBear.

“Akram Khan’s best show yet - poignant, thrilling, magical, moving and utterly transfixing” The Daily Telegraph
