Bahok

Imperdível.
Dos espectáculos mais belos que já vi.

Bahok cruza diferentes géneros, experiências e olhares sobre a dança, proporcionando-nos uma experiência única. A combinação de elementos da dança moderna chinesa aliada às influências da dança clássica ocidental,numa coreografia de Akram Khan absolutamente extraordinária, com uma execução técnica e performativa a raiar a perfeição,potenciada pela banda sonora de Nitin Sawhney, tornaram este espectáculo uma experiencia inesquecível.

Faço minhas as palavras de um crítico inglês : "There are times when reviewers have to hold up their hands up say, fair enough guys, that was wonderful. Having seen the European Premier of Akram Khan and the National Ballet of China’s latest production, this reviewer’s one regret is that he couldn’t get a ticket for the second night due to the theatre being sold out for weeks beforehand.
Never is there a moment when what takes place is not captivating, as the central characters of the moment meld with those on the periphery of the action to stunning, breathtaking effect, with each nuance supported brilliantly Nitin Sawhney’s stunning score.
(...)the work looks at how people from different parts of the world relate to each other. Dramatised through a mixture of dialogue and dance, it is set in the departure lounge of a major airport and what ensues is a powerful and, at times, humorous unification of mind, body and spirit, sensationally illustrated through the grace and energy of the eight performers.
Whimsical without ever being fay and emotive without ever becoming patronising, Bahok unearths what the word ‘home’ truly means and is quite simply as close to perfect as anybody has a right to expect."
