About

Zero Degrees is a remarkable collaboration between four of today's most respected artists.

Moroccan-Flemish Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui is best known for his work with Les Ballets C. de la B. while Akram Khan is world renowned for developing his own 'contemporary Kathak' style, winning numerous awards. For Zero Degrees they bring their unique styles together in this spellbinding piece of dance.

Mercury Award winning composer/producer Nitin Sawhney adds his own East-meets-West sound with a specially commissioned score played live by four musicians, and Turner Prize winner Antony Gormley has contributed the staging - two life-size casts of the dancers.

Zero Degrees explores borders - between countries, cultures and, most importantly, between life and death. It challenges, prompts and inspires, in a seamless fusion of dance styles, music and contemporary art.

This is a unique and exclusive recording at Sadler’s Wells of this worldwide box office hit, with bonuses of in-depth interviews with Akram Khan and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui - two of the world’s most successful and inventive choreographers, stills gallery and limited edition collector’s booklet.

zero degrees is a thing of strange, sweet, brutal beauty… a devastating must-see” - Evening Standard

Transfixing, not only because they are superb dancers but because their performance is given such strange and potent definition by its staging.” - The Guardian

Hugely moving and visionary” - The Daily Telegraph

Sawhney’s exciting score takes a journey of its own, from visceral, sensuous rhythms that burst with life, to beautiful plangent melodies that linger in the air like the spectre of death” - The Times
