Akram Khan’s latest work made its world premiere in 2011 to unanimous critical praise. His most personal work to date, DESH is a full length contemporary solo that has already been declared “a masterpiece” (The Observer) and won an Olivier Award for best new dance production. A collaboration of extraordinary proportions, Khan joined forces 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 to create “the most urgent, beautiful and confident work of his career” (The Guardian). 
This will be shown at Sadlers Wells from 2-6 October. Book tickets for Akram Khan's Desh here.
