Carnival of Shadows The beginning of a third decade of storytelling

Over the past 20 years, Akram Khan Company has become a platform that retells ancient myths to speak to us now and constantly reinvents itself in order to reflect the world as it changes.

A group of women in flowing dresses perform a synchronized dance on stage with their arms raised and expressive poses. The background is black, and the stage lighting only lights some of the performers' faces.
