The British-Bangladeshi choreographer Akram Khan returns to schrit_tmacher Festival, where he previously presented f.i. “Outwitting the Devil” in 2021. In “Thikra: Night of Remembering”, fourteen female dancers from Bharatanatyam and Western contemporary backgrounds build a bridge between hybrid cultures, traditions and perspectives. Inspired by the sacred landscapes of AlUla in Medina, the work honours the women who shaped our past and future. Created with visual artist Manal AlDowayan, “Thikra” becomes a universal ritual of remembrance and renewal. Khan: “If time is a river, let us rediscover how to move – alone and together.”
