Description
Whose war? Whose fire? Whose hand is this?
XENOS relives the dream of a colonial Indian soldier stuck in no-man’s land. Akram Khan and his stellar creative team unearth the experience of colonial soldiers who became xenoi in the First World War.
XENOS marks Akram Khan’s final performances as a solo dancer in a full-length piece. It reveals the beauty and horror of human condition in its portrait of an Indian dancer whose skilled body becomes an instrument of war. Akram is joined onstage by five international musicians: percussionist B C Manjunath, vocalist Aditya Prakash, bass player Nina Harries, violinist Clarice Rarity and saxophonist Tamar Osborn.
