Akram Khan and Nitin Sawhney — Confluence
Confluence, the new collaboration between Akram Khan and Nitin Sawhney, makes a welcome return to Sadler's Wells following its sell-out run at their Svapnagata India Festival in Autumn 2009.
The highly acclaimed Confluence fuses Sawhney's music with Khan's unique blend of classical kathak and contemporary technique. Exploring how the independent stories of these two kindred spirits converged, Confluence offers the opportunity to re-visit their collaborative work together (Kaash, zero degrees and bahok) but it is more than simply a retrospective of their previous pieces. It is an exploration of the nature and fabric of creativity itself.

- "It’s the small details rather than the big concepts that make it magic"
