Chotto Desh
Akram Khan, Sue Buckmaster • Akram Khan company
AN UNFORGETTABLE SOLO AND A MAGICAL RELEASE
Chotto Desh is the solo work DESH (meaning “homeland”) in a version devised for young audiences. Akram Khan turns the pages of a tale of initiation, full of suspense and striking images. There is the return to the homeland of Bangladesh, the land of his parents who settled in London in 1971, and there is also the construction of the individual self, presented in a deep and evocative rendition with universal elements, danced by a member of the company interacting with an animated film and inspiring wonderment.
