Thursday 28 and Friday 29 April, 7.30pm A stunning fusion of traditional kathak and contemporary dance. Gnosis begins as Khan revisits the classical motifs of two earlier works, Polaroid Feet and Tarana. Pursuing the idea of the ‘knowledge within’, it is an exploration of the inner and outer battles of characters, the human and the godly. Drawing from sources both ancient and modern, Gnosis is also inspired by the Hindu epic Mahabharata, in particular the story of Gandhari, the wife of the blind king who blindfolds herself for life to share his journey. It explores the notion of inner knowledge and clouded vision, seeing darkness and yet being blind to light. ‘Not only a superb dancer but also a choreographer of rare, narrative vision’ The Guardian Khan’s choreography has been developed in collaboration with internationally renowned kathak masters Sri Pratap Pawar and Gauri Sharma Tripathi. He is accompanied on stage by an ensemble of exceptional musicians from India, the United Kingdom and Pakistan. ‘One of the world’s most inventive dance-makers. Simply astonishing’ Daily Telegraph Tickets £22, £18, £14, £10 (under 18s £2 off) Venue Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Snape, Suffolk
