KAASH — “if only” in Hindi — is a revival of Akram Khan’s dance piece created some 14 years ago with composer Nitin Sawhney and sculptor Anish Kapoor.
A marriage of contemporary dance and kathak, whose origins lie in the north India of antiquity, it’s a work inspired by “Hindu Gods, black holes, Indian time cycles, tablas, creation and destruction.”
