Jungle Book Reimagined by Akram Khan Company in Abu Dhabi

Akram Khan Company’s “Jungle Book Reimagined” will be presented at the Cultural Foundation, offering a visually stunning and emotionally charged dance-theatre adaptation of Kipling’s classic.

In this bold reimagining, Akram Khan interprets the tale through the lens of urgent contemporary issues such as climate change, environmental destruction, and human displacement. The performance showcases Khan’s distinctive choreography, blending classical Indian Kathak with contemporary dance in a powerful fusion.

The dancers bring Mowgli’s journey to life with dynamic and expressive movement while immersive digital projections and an atmospheric score transport the audience into a futuristic world.
