AKRAM KHAN COMPANY

The Akram Khan Company is celebrated for its daring, powerful, and imaginative productions. 

Thikra: Night of Remembering was created as the final touring production ofKhan’s illustrious four-decade career.

In this spell-binding production, the past and present converge in a journey through tradition to honor our ancestors, deeply rooted in the power of rituals.

Imagined as an annual gathering, a tribe of women comes together for one night only to awaken the spirit of those who came before them. Through ceremony and shared remembrance, they transcend time, uniting the past and present in a profound act of renewal.

Khan draws profound inspiration from diverse cultures that engage in these sacred practices across the globe. With scenography and costume design by award-winning Saudi visual artist Manal AlDowayan, the piece explores the echoes of a colonized past.

Featuring an original score by Aditya Prakash, sound design by Gareth Fry, lighting design by Zeynep Kepekli, dramaturgy by Blue Pieta, with an all-female international cast of Contemporary and Bharatanatyam voices, Thikra weaves a narrative that is at once universal and deeply personal.

Together, these creative voices invite us to reflect on our own heritage and the rituals that have shaped our shared humanity.
