- Akram Khan Company & National Ballet of China bahok
- “This is not simply a dance piece but a piece with a message. Essentially the theme is cultural identity and how we carry memories of our identity and home wherever we go. There is also a theme of cultural clashes, but an electrifying dance ensemble at the end builds to a collective group hug by the passengers at the end- a message of hope perhaps that despite our differences, we are all more powerful when we collaborate and unite.”
