On DVD & Digital HD | vivaverve.com

Desh, the stage show from celebrated British contemporary dancer and choreographer Akram Khan MBE, opened in Sadlers Wells, in September 2011, to rave reviews. Described by The Observer as "A masterpiece. Eye-wideningly beautiful. Magical" Desh, meaning Homeland in Bengali, is an exploration of Akram Khan's British/ Bangladeshi heritage and is his most personal work to date.

Akram Khan: Homeland offers a rare glimpse into the working and personal life of Akram Kahn as he orchestrates each stage of the creative process behind Desh. Beginning with a research trip to Bangladesh, the film follows Khan and his production team, including Oscar-winning visual artist Tim Yip (Production Designer for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), writer and poet Karthika Nair and Olivier award-winning composer Jocelyn Pook, as they develop the seeds of an idea into a sell out stage show.

Having recently won a host of prestigious awards, including The Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production and The South Bank Sky Arts Award in Dance, Desh has proved to be one of the most ground-breaking and important stage shows of recent years. Akram Khan: Homeland is a must see for fans of contemporary dance and for anyone interested in seeing how all the ingredients of an award winning stage show are put together.
