The British-Bengali dancer and choreographer Akram Khan combines the best of two worlds: the traditional Indian kathak dance that he was taught by his parents and distinctly modern influences from the west. Before Bahok, which means "carrier" in Bengali, Kahn worked together with the National Ballet of China. As we have come to expect from Khan, identity is what it is all about. Who are we in a world of rapid communications? And where can you visualise that better than in the departure lounge of an airport, where everyone is uprooted and seeks contact with each other? His vision produces a ‘theatrical choreography of unimaginable beauty.’ (Volkskrant daily)
