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.
