Bahok', named after the Bengali word meaning carrier, explores the ways in which the body carries national identity and a sense of belonging. Akram Khan's dancers come from diverse cultures, traditions and dance backgrounds, Chinese, Korean, Indian, South African and Spanish, and this rich mix of both spoken and dance language pushes the boundaries of movement vocabulary. Khan once again joins forces with long-time collaborator and multi award-winning composer Nitin Sawhney, who has created an original score.
