About

Journey with a young boy through a mysterious, fairytale world
A summer-holiday dance treat for all ages, featuring the journey of a young boy with a cultural heritage spanning both Britain and Bangladesh, who dreams of becoming a dancer. Projection mapping and music are used effectively to portray a fairytale world, in a show as stunning for its visuals as its dancing. The “chotto desh” of the title is Bengali for “small homeland.”

Profile

A British Bangladeshi dancer and choreographer, born 1974 in London, Khan has achieved worldwide popularity for his highly original style with its strong ethnic flavor, fusing the classical Indian dance form of Kathak with contemporary dance.
