zero degrees
zero degrees is a remarkable collaboration between four of today's most respected artists.
Moroccan-Flemish Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui is best known for his work with Les Ballets C. de la B. while Akram Khan is renowned for developing his own 'contemporary Kathak' style, winning numerous awards including a Time Out, Critic's Circle and South Bank Show award. For zero degrees they bring their unique styles together.
Mercury Award winning composer/producer Nitin Sawhney adds his own East-meets-West sound with a specially commissioned score played live by four musicians, and Turner Prize winner Antony Gormley has contributed the staging - two life-size casts of the dancers.
zero degrees explores borders - between countries, cultures and, most importantly, between life and death. It challenges, prompts and inspires, in a seamless fusion of dance styles, music and contemporary art.
If you missed this show last time, be sure to book now for your last chance to see this spellbinding piece of dance.
- Transfixing, not only because they are superb dancers but because their performance is given such strange and potent definition by its staging
