Jungle Book reimagined (10+)

In the organizer's words:

by Akram Khan Company

From 10 years

Akram Khan's "Jungle Book reimagined" is the choreography of his internationally successful company, based on the popular story "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling. With a new sense of urgency, Akram Khan has reinterpreted this well-known story from the perspective of today's children - those who will inherit our world and be our future storytellers. Within the narrative of The Jungle Book lies the profound threat that man poses to nature. Akram Khan and his team have reinterpreted Mowgli's journey through the eyes of a refugee in a world devastated by the effects of climate change. They tell the story of a child who will help us to listen to the voices of nature again in a world where we all too often silence these voices for the sake of supposed progress. "Jungle Book reimagined" speaks to all generations to remind them to relearn and reimagine a new world together.

Akram Khan is one of the most renowned dance artists of our time. His success is based on imaginative and accessible productions. A highlight of his career was creating part of the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
