Brighton Festival: Thikra: Night of Remembering

This Brighton Festival show marks the end of an era as Akram Kahn's legendary company visit Brighton Dome on their final tour. I hope some of you can join me, or already have tickets booked, so we can meet up.

I've booked Centre Stalls K17 and there should still be tickets left (I booked last week).
Book your ticket (£35) at:-

Show starts at 8 pm - we'll meet in the bar from 7.30 pm.

NB I'll be collecting £2 Meetup fee (contactless) from attendees.

"Past and present converge in a journey through tradition, honouring our ancestors in Akram Khan Company’s final touring production
Imagined as an annual gathering, a tribe of women come 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 colonised past.
Featuring an original score by Aditya Prakash (ROOM-i-Nation, 2025), sound design by Gareth Fry, lighting design by Zeynep Kepekli, dramaturgy by Blue Pieta, with an all-female international cast of Contemporary and Bharatanatyam dancers, 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."
