Hailed as an international treasure following his singular contribution to the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony, Akram Khan returns to Ottawa with DESH, a new full-length solo performance praised as “the most urgent, beautiful and confident work of his career.” This intensely personal journey of reconnection with his family’s homeland, Bangladesh, blends memory, myth and experience as Khan brilliantly transforms himself with miraculous shape shifting eloquence. “His dancing is mercurial,” seemingly boneless, with new power and precision. DESH features the work of an award-winning design team, including Tim Yip, Oscar-winning costume and visual artist (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), and audacious video imagery, adding layers of depth and meaning to a vivid exploration of identity that is intimate and epic, magical and moving.
