Thanks to a collaboration with the TNL, the TalentLAB programme features a performance of the latest creation of Hannah Ma, project leader of the TalentLAB in 2017. INVASION(S) analyses the act of invasion as the act of violently entering a (political, physical, biological) territory from a feminist, anti-racist and post-migrant perspective. Hannah Ma creates a posthuman narrative in which microcosms and macrocosms intermingle, and the performers simultaneously become armies, nations, territories, cells, political ideas, and microorganisms.

Vagabundus est une performance dans laquelle 13 interprètes ne cessent de danser et de chanter un répertoire musical mozambicain traditionnel et contemporain, sur la trame de motifs gospels et baroques. Le chorégraphe mozambicain Idio Chichava montre la migration à travers le prisme du corps. Souvent jugée volontaire ou forcée, elle est une vague invisible, un flux humain. Le migrant est le nomade d’aujourd’hui, le colon, le découvreur, mais aussi le vagabond.

Akram Khan’s Jungle Book reimagined is a new work based on the much-loved story by Rudyard Kipling. With a new sense of urgency, Akram has reinterpreted this known story from another perspective, through the lens of today’s children – those who will inherit our world and become our future storytellers. Embedded in the roots of Jungle Book is the deep threat that mankind poses towards nature. Akram and his team have reimagined the journey of Mowgli through the eyes of a refugee caught in a world devastated by the impact of climate change.
