This hotly anticipated work, originally a collaboration with the National Ballet of China, brings together a superb international cast of dancers.

Featuring a score by Nitin Sawhney, bahok, named after a Bengali word meaning ‘carrier’, explores the ways in which the body carries national identity and a sense of belonging. Khan’s dancers come from diverse cultures, traditions and dancem backgrounds – Chinese, Korean, Indian, South-African, Slovakian and Spanish – and this rich mix of both spoken and dance language pushes the boundaries of movement vocabulary.

‘Bahok unearths what the word ‘home’ truly means and is quite simply as close to perfect as anybody has a right to expect.’ – The Stage

‘Through this ultimately powerful piece, Khan captures both the exhilaration and the desolation of a world on the move.’ – The Guardian

‘A work of great texture and density.’ – Daily Telegraph
