Akram Kahn brings this otherworldly tale of isolation and belonging to Sadler's Wells.
The Creature is tested for his mental and physical prowess to withstand all that humans do not desire, including extreme cold, complete isolation, and no sense of home - what are deemed to be essential qualities in mankind's proposed colonisation of the "final frontiers" on earth and beyond. The Arctic and the desolate walls of a former research station are cruel and unforgiving as The Creature is pushed to its limits. Creature is a story about an outsider and a quest for belonging, drawing on themes of alienation, solitude, and the vulnerability of the psyche.
Akram Khan has built an outstanding reputation and a vast amount of work in just 18 years and is now celebrated as one of the most respected dance artists of today.
“The outcast, the stranger, have been a common theme in my work”, says Khan. “In Creature, I am looking further into the areas related to the sense of abandonment, rage and loss.”
