Zero Degrees – Review (Shivangi) January 9, 2007
Posted by FarmerB in > Reviews, CarriageWorks, zero degrees.2 comments
In a piece for the ‘What I’d do if I had the money’ series for The
Gurdian, Akram Khan once said, “I would spend the money to bring
artists from different genres together, artists who you wouldn’t
expect to work together – maybe a painter, a sculptor, a writer and a
film director.”
Khan’s latest production alchemically combines his Kathak-inspired
lightning-fast footwork with Sidi Larbi Charkaoui’s supple
contortions, Antony Gormley’s more-than-alive sculptures and Nitin
Sawhney’s haunting music. Zero Degrees, which opened the Sydney
Festival is a not-to-be-missed contemporary dance production rich in
meaning and experience.

We made it along to Zero Degrees last night.
The show was awesome. Akram and Sidi have so much talent and energy.
It was a really polished performance that featured great music, lighting and choreography.
Full review on the way.

“A harrowing subcontinental train journey influenced choreographer and dancer Akram Khan’s Sydney Festival show.”
“The work is all about borders, not only geographic and cultural but the borders between life and death, power and submission.”

Zero Degrees is the first work to be presented at Sydney’s newest performing arts venue, CarriageWorks. Staring Akram Khan and Sidi Larbi Cherkauio on stage, a score by Nitin Sawney and sculpture by Antony Gormley. Click here for reviews of Zero Degrees from London earlier this year. Did anyone see Akram Khan’s Ma (Sydney 2005?)

Zero degrees is at the new CarriageWorks venue and should be great. Nitin Sawney is doing the music and is a rocking DJ / producer. Check out his website.
