Akram Khan World Premiere Added to Buta Festival Lineup
For two nights only Akram and fellow dancers will improvise to set pieces with Shahin and his musicians at London's premiere dance venue, during the final weeks of Buta, which has been running since November 2014.
The festival, which has brought Azeri artists, musicians and performers to London, has included events and exhibitions at Ronnie Scott's, the Royal Albert Hall, the Saatchi Gallery and Sotheby's.
Farooq Chaudhry, producer of Akram Khan Company, said: "Exposing audiences to artistic talent from unfamiliar parts of the world to London is very much at the heart of my work and I am thrilled to be involved in the Buta Festival, for this unique chance for dance and music enthusiasts to see Akram's exciting new collaboration with Shahin."
Tickets are on sale at https://secure.sadlerswells.com/production/41561 and are priced from £15.
On 17th March Akram will be joined on stage by Berlin-based dancer Honji Wang, while the following night, Akram will perform with Rootlessroot - duo Jozef Frucek and Linda Kapetanea.
The 2015 Buta Festival provides a window to the Azeri Arts in London, offering unique insights into a country that is arousing our curiosity. For further information about the festival, visit www.butafestival.com.
