In the near future, a family is torn apart as they escape their homeland, devastated by the impact of climate change. Arriving alone in a deserted modern city, and with wild animals claiming the streets as their own, the child quickly discovers unlikely allies in this strange new jungle.
In Akram Khan’s new dance/theatre production, based on the original story The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling’s family classic, Akram and his team reinvent Mowgli’s journey through the eyes of a climate refugee.
Featuring an original soundtrack, ten international dancers, and state-of-the-art animation and visuals, Jungle Book reimagined is a compelling and vital show about our intrinsic need to belong and connect with others. At the center of the show is the importance of relating to and respecting the natural world.
