The Svapnagata India Festival culminates in a new collaborative production by Akram Khan and Nitin Sawhney. Confluence fuses Sawhney's music with Khan's unique blend of classical kathak and contemporary technique.

It takes the form of a conversation between two friends and artistic collaborators, looking back on personal experiences, respective influences and a productive creative partnership.

Exploring how the independent stories of these two kindred spirits converged, Confluence offers the opportunity to not only re-visit their collaborative work together (Kaash, zero degrees and bahok) but also to understand the psychological, emotional and spiritual processes involved in their work. Confluence will also include a new piece of choreography by Akram Khan to a specially created composition by Nitin Sawhney.

Listen to the free pre-show talk exploring themes arising from the Svapnagata Festival with a panel of guests including Akram Khan and Nitin Sawhney curated and chaired by Maya Jaggi, award-winning cultural journalist for The Guardian.
