XENOS IS Akram Khan [https://www.facebook.com/AkramKhanCompany/]’s
final solo creation before
his planned retirement as a performer. A powerful work that reveals
the beauty and horrors of the human condition through the myth of
Prometheus, it is told from the perspective of an Indian soldier
recruited to fight in the trenches of World War I for the British
Crown. “XENOS” means “stranger” or “alien” in Greek, and
Khan’s work bravely explores the soldier’s alienation as he is
trapped between two cultures in the colonial system.
