Desh In-I Until the Lions Vertical RoadDesh
Synopsis:
Khan "has returned to his roots to create his first full-length contemporary dance solo. Desh, meaning homeland in Bengali, will explore the idea of transformation - of body, land, identity and memory, while examining the contradictions of Khan's British-Asian identity." Created after 12 months' research in the UK and Bangladesh and performed during the year Bangladesh celebrates the 40th anniversary of its independence from Pakistan, Desh draws together tales of land, nation and resistance.

Synopsis:
Khan has adapted part of poet Karthika Naïrs book Until the Lions: Echoes from the Mahabharata, an original reworking of the epic Mahabharata. Combining the Indian classical dance form kathak with contemporary dance, Until the Lions will explore themes of gender and sexuality, and the changes that time forces on the body in what is set to be his most spectacular production to date.
