Description
“So sensational it takes the breath away.”— Daily Telegraph, LondonTwo remarkable stars of today's dance world come together for a special program to explore the connections between East and West.
Perhaps the world's most celebrated ballerina, Sylvia Guillem is a reigning star of the Paris Opera Ballet, and a longtime principal guest artist at the Royal Ballet.
British-Asian choreographer and dancer Akram Khan is renowned for fusing contemporary dance with Indian classical kathak dance.
Choreographed by Akram Khan, with additional choreography by Lin Hwai-min, artistic director of Taiwan’s Cloud Gate Dance Theatre, their adventurous new collaboration explores the notions of male and female energies as spiritual forces rooted in creation stories and myths. The evening is set to live music by British cellist Philip Sheppard.
