Akram Khan / Jungle Book company reimagined: dance at its best in Megaro

A special reading of Kipling’s “Jungle Book” by one of the greatest choreographers of our time.

“This production follows in the footsteps of the original story

and Rudyard Kipling, but this particular edition

it is my very personal interpretation

natural. Mowglis and all friends

the characters of the book are there

in this new edition, according to

in new original music”.

Akram Khan

A real creator who connects, through his new work called “The Jungle Book Reimagined”, his important communication with the public, making them aware of the environmental problem, climate change and their natural and social impact.

As a choreographer and director, he creates a dreamlike stage environment, with dancers moving between reality and fantasy, giving all audiences, regardless of age, a personal reading of the rare beauty of Kipling’s world-loved story.

The presentation of the “Jungle Book reimagined” project takes place in the framework of the Ngoma cycle events in Megaro with the funding of ALPHA BANK.
