In collaboration with Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Akram Khan Company will return to Jacob’s Pillow for the first time in over 20 years to perform Thikra: Night of Remembering. 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. Featuring an international cast of women performing contemporary and Bharatanatyam dance, an original score, and scenography and costume design by award-winning Saudi visual artist Manal AlDowayan, Thikra is a journey through tradition, deeply rooted in the power of rituals as it explores the echoes of a colonized past. This is the final touring production by the Akram Khan Company. After 25 years, this global tour is the last opportunity to witness this company’s extraordinary artistic legacy.
