The Akram Tree

The Akram Tree is a journey through the world of the British-Bangladeshi choreographer and dancer Akram Khan. Traditions and experimentations from India, Japan, Pakistan, England, Egypt, Iraq and Bangladesh collaborate together to create a work between classic Indian kathak and contemporary dance. The film portrays the story of this peculiar human and artistic adventure often transcending the narration for the sake of a more visionary look influenced by the location where the documentary has been shot: the futuristic and conflictive city of Abu Dhabi, with its desertic and metaphysical surroundings.
