Akram Khan Company’s production of Outwitting the Devil , dress rehearsal takes place at Sadler’s Wells in London. The production runs from 23-27 November. Combining classical and contemporary influences, Khan explores our oldest rituals in the context of our ever-changing planet. The work is inspired by the newly discovered fragment of the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the world’s earliest surviving great works of literature. In a landscape of broken tablets and fallen idols, its six characters trade their remaining wealth and stories, seeking to make whole the fragments of ancient knowledge lost and forgotten over time. Khan brings together an ensemble of six international artists alongside regular collaborators: dramaturg Ruth Little, composer Vincenzo Lamagna, rehearsal director Mavin Khoo, costume designer Kimie Nakano, writer Jordan Tannahill, plus visual designer Tom Scutt and lighting designer Aideen Malone.
