Winner of the 1999 Jerwood Award, Akram Khan is a rising star on the contemporary dance scene. This fantastically skilled dancer and choreographer performs both Asian traditional and western contemporary dance. Akram Khan returns to Sadler's Wells Theatre in GIGENIS: The generation of the Earth, sharing the stage with an ensemble of renowned artists of Indian classical dance and seven live musicians. A choreographer and dancer rooted in the tradition of his practice, and a creative interpreter of stories that need to be experienced - Khan has revolutionised the world of dance. In GIGENIS, Khan returns to his roots, to his traditions, and to his past in this new production - to a time when we were more connected with nature, Mother Earth and our mythology.
