BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Vertical Road is the latest masterpiece of UK renowned choreographer Akram Khan, who is a super star in dancing on the global stage. Khan has assembled a cast of very special performers from across Asia, Europe and the Middle East. With a specially commissioned score by long-term collaborator composer Nitin Sawhney, Vertical Road draws inspiration from the Sufi tradition and the Persian poet and philosopher Rumi. Exploring man's earthly nature, his rituals and the consequences of human actions, Vertical Road becomes a meditation on the journey from gravity to grace, and continues choreographer’s ambition to explore the interfaces between different cultures and creative disciplines.

Visually inspiring and spiritually profound, Vertical Road draws on the performers' different cultural interpretation of the human odyssey. In Akram Khan's words: "in a world moving so fast, with the growth of technology and information, I am somehow inclined to move against this current, in search of what it might mean to be connected not just spiritually, but also vertically".
