Part of the Pasculano Collaborative for Contemporary Dance

In the Lincoln Center Contemporary Dance Festival’s closing week, audience favorite Akram Khan returns to campus with the U.S. premiere of Thikra: Night of Remembering in collaboration with Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. Thikra, meaning ‘memory’ or ‘recollection’ in Arabic, is deeply rooted in the power of rituals. With arresting visual design by Manal AlDowayan and Khan’s signature choreographic style—weaving the Indian classical dance form of Bharatanatyam with contemporary—past and present converge in a journey to connect with ancestral knowledge. Imagined as an annual gathering, a tribe of women come together for one night only to awaken the spirits of those who came before them. Through ceremony and shared remembrance, they transcend time, uniting past and present in a profound act of renewal. This performance will feature audio description.
