Sacred Monsters

Got free comp tix to watch Akram Khan & Sylvie Guillem perform at the Esplanade for the arts fest. It was really good to see such chemistry between two dancers trained of different classical techniques - ballet and kathak. I like that they interact with the audience by sharing about themselves and also as they opened to each other in the process of improvisation. You can see they have a relationship - they understand and they accept.
This is quite different from the other contemporary dance performances i've seen. The dance vocab isn't very new. But they compensated with their precision in execution because of their classical training. ENJOYED IT! yum.
