Description Akram Khan started his career as a 13 year old performer in Peter Brook's famous staging of The Mahabharata. Now established as one of the world's most important choreographers. Akram returns to this iconic text in his latest production, Until the Lions. In this lean and powerful dance-theatre production, the story of princess Amba is revisited from a female perspective, more relatable to modern audiences. Abducted by the powerful warrior Bheeshma, Amba is rendered unmarriageable. Invoking the power of the Gods, she seeks her revenge against the mighty Bheeshma.
