Akram Khan Company Jungle Book reimagined

A deeply personal interpretation by Akram Khan, Jungle Book reimagined is based on the original story by Rudyard Kipling. At 10 years of age, Khan played Mowgli in an Indian dance production, The Adventures of Mowgli. Decades later, Khan wants to reunite with this well-known and familiar story from another perspective, and to embrace it with a new sense of urgency. Embedded in the roots of Jungle Book is the deep threat that mankind poses towards nature, the journey of Mowgli is reimagined through the eyes of a refugee caught in a world devastated by the impact of climate change. This child will help us to listen again to the voices of the natural world that the modern world tries to silence.
