Akram Khan Company and the National Ballet of China present
bahok
13 & 14 May
Akram Khan is one of the most exciting dancers of our time, having choreographed pieces from the Royal Festival Hall to Kylie's Showgirl tour, and everywhere in between. For bahok he has joined forces with the National Ballet of China to create a piece of dance encompassing styles from around the world, which tells the story of how we communicate memories of our homelands and of our roots, as well as of our dreams.If you would like to find out more about bahok and the people who have created it, click on the Find Out More button below, where you will find links to some fascinating video clips.
Robyn Orlin City Theater and Dance Group presents
We Must Eat Our Lollipops With The Wrappers On...
16 & 17 May
This outstanding South African dance company uses dance, live video relay and projections to look at one of the most serious threats to Africa's future, HIV/AIDS. Of course this is an incredibly serious topic but this production is filled with humour, charm and sensitivity and is a wonderfully accessible piece of dance.
Tickets
Tickets for both shows are priced from £11.75 to £19, with concessions available, so book yours now and prepare to experience some of the most exciting dance the world has to offer, right here in Birmingham.
We look forward to welcoming you to The REP.
With best wishes Birmingham Repertory Theatre
