28 May-1 June: Following outstanding success with his latest so
lo, DESH, award-winning dancer/choreographer Akram Khan returns to Sadler
's Wells with the London premiere of his much-anticipated new work, iTMOi
, the second part of the A String of Rites series.
iTMOi (in the mind ofigor) is Khan’s first full-length ensemble piece since Vertical Road in 20
10 and is inspired by the work of prolific composer Igor Stravinsky. Create
d in the 100th year since Stravinsky’s iconic Le Sacre du Printemps (The Ri
te of Spring) was composed, iTMOi explores the human condition and the wayin which Stravinsky transformed the classical music world by evoking emoti
ons through pattern, rooted in the concept of a woman dancing herself to d
eath.
Featuring an original score by Nitin Sawhney, Jocelyn Pook and Be
n Frost, iTMOi is yet another extraordinary artistic collaboration from Kh
an and a talented artistic team including costume designer Kimie Nakano, d
ramaturge Ruth Little and an international cast of 12 dancers.
