Next Wednesday March 3, choreographer Akram Khan’s piece bahok will be performed at the Northrop, co-presented by the Walker.
The Northrop’s expansive space will allow breathing room for the boundary-stretching choreography of bahok. I think that anyone who enjoyed the Northrop’s season launch (like me) will enjoy bahok; and like Wayne MacGregor’s Entity, bahok promises to be a meticulously crafted, multimedia blockbuster of a show.
Here’s a behind the scenes look from when bahok performed at Sadler Well’s in London (the National Ballet of China dancers have since been replaced for the U.S. run due to other performance commitments).
For any Walker folks unfamiliar with the Northrop, its address is 84 Church St SE (Minneapolis 55455). Click here for parking and directions.
Remember also that unlike at the Walker, Northrop parking lots are cash only at the time of entry.
