Time:70 minutes

The British Bengal choreographer Akram Khan, who studied both kathak as well as contemporary dance, has brought together two dance companies for his latest show bahok: his own Akram Kham Company and the National Ballet of China. The documentary Lettres sur le pont by Gilles Delmas shows us a peep behind the scenes of the cooperation between Akram Khan and his dancers, the dancers of the National Ballet of China and composer and musician Nitin Sawhney. What precedes the performance finally being shown in the theatres? Which challenges had to be faced and how much sweat did it take to merge the dynamics of the modern China, elements of Chinese folklore dance and kathak with western and classical influences?
