ABOUT PERFORMANCE : 

In Akram Khan’s new dance-theatre production based on the

original story of Rudyard Kipling’s much-loved classic, Akram

and his team reinvent the journey of Mowgli through the eyes of

a climate refugee.

Featuring an original score, ten international dancers and

state-of-the-art animation and visuals, Jungle Book

reimagined is a beautifully compelling and vital piece of

storytelling about our intrinsic need to belong and bond with

others, and placing the importance of connecting with and

respecting our natural world at its heart.

 

Duration:. 2hr 10mins, including 20min interval. 

 

Press:

“Simultaneously engaging, sobering, transfixing and hopeful,

this beautiful work of art

is worthy of gracing any stage in the world.”

The Sunday National

„Jungle Book reimagined is a beautiful work. The athletic

dancers are outstanding. The quality of their expressive

movement is remarkable, their interpretation superlative.”
