Akram Khan XENOS A Cal Performances Co-commission
Quote Unquote Collective Mouthpiece Created and performed by Amy Nostbakken and Norah Sadava Directed by Amy Nostbakken
A two-woman show acclaimed for its raw honesty and insightful portrayal of womanhood.
The legendary Akram Khan’s final solo creation before his planned retirement as a performer, XENOS explores the shell-shocked dreams of an Indian colonial soldier during the First World War. Combining classical Indian kathak and contemporary dance, Khan bravely explores the soldier’s alienation as he finds himself trapped between two cultures.
“A smart show, beautifully put together and performed, and one that speaks up for all the women who daily bite their tongues.” — The Guardian , London
