Monaco Dance Forum: "Chotto desh" by Akram Khan
As part of the festival Monaco Dance Forum. By the Akram Khan Company.
Introduction
Chotto Desh, meaning "small homeland", draws on Khan’s unique quality of crosscultural storytelling, creating a compelling tale of a boy’s dreams and memories from Britain to Bangladesh that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit in the modern world. Blending Kathak and contemporary dance with an exquisite mix of spoken text, dreamlike animation, visuals and specially composed music, Chotto Desh is an enchanting and poignant dance- theatre experience for children aged 7+ and their families to enjoy together.
