Sacred Monsters (4.5) Sylvie Guillem & Akram Khan
Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House, 17th March 2008

Khan goes to his Indian heritage for a beautiful piece of flowing dance for two and a haunting, live, score for voice, percussion, cello & violin. Looses .5 for the inaudible dialogue that must be heard to fully appreciate the important story-telling. The formality of Shiva is set against the playful Krishna through solo and beautifully pas-de-deux. Khan’s footwork in his kathak solo is outstanding.
