Akram Khan - Gigenis: The Generation Of The Earth

“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

A choreographer and dancer rooted in the tradition of his practice, and a creative interpreter of stories that need to be experienced – Akram Khan has revolutionised the world of dance.

Khan returns to his roots, to his traditions, and to his past – to a time when we were more connected with nature, Mother Earth and our mythology. Gigenis evokes the memories of our civilization.

In his new artistic chapter, Khan shares the stage alongside an ensemble of six renowned artists of Indian classical dance and seven live musicians.

Gigenis is produced by Productions Sarfati Presented thanks to the support of Orsolina28 Art Foundation and Muse Art Foundation. In co-production with Esplanade Theatres on the Bay Singapore, Sadler’s Wells London, The Joyce Theater.
