Jungle Book reimagined
Akram Khan Company
Akram Khan Company made its Bradford debut.
The hugely acclaimed Akram Khan Company is performing in Bradford for the first time during Bradford 2025.
Akram Khan’s Jungle Book reimagined is based on the much-loved story by Rudyard Kipling. With a new sense of urgency, Khan has reinterpreted this known story from another perspective, through the lens of today’s children – those who will inherit our world and become our future storytellers.
Embedded in the roots of The Jungle Book is the deep threat that mankind poses towards nature. Khan and his team have reimagined the journey of Mowgli through the eyes of a refugee caught in a world devastated by the impact of climate change. They tell the story of a child who will help us to listen again, not to our voices but to the voices of the natural world that we, the modern world, try to silence.
Jungle Book reimagined speaks to all generations as a step to remind, to relearn and to reimagine a new world together.
Memories of the Future
Akram Khan is also co-creating Memories of the Future, a new work to be performed in July by dancers from communities across Bradford – read more.
Jungle Book reimagined feels like a blockbuster cinematic experience with a powerful message for us all. It’s truly exceptional.”
