Sadler’s Wells has commissioned Associate Artist Akram Khan to create a short film inspired by XENOS, his final new full-length solo which receives its UK premiere at Sadler’s Wells next week.
The 8-minute film, XEN, produced by Illuminations for Sadler’s Wells, is a reimagined version of Akram Khan’s performance for the screen, and is part of Sadler’s Wells’ commitment to developing new forms of dance which reach new audiences.
"Directing this short film, was like writing a song, except the words had a will of their own, just as the movements had its own sense of truth, independent to the choreography of the camera. It has been a real learning process, one that I thoroughly enjoyed.” – Akram
