Red alert, to anyone anywhere near Northern California on Oct. 24: Akram Khan is presenting his latest piece,“iTMOi” (“In the Mind of Igor”), which sounds amazing, at the UC Davis campus theatre next week. This blog page doesn’t usually run preview notices, but this is the ONLY U.S. performance during the London-based company’s international tour. Read here about the evolution of (& tenacity required for) this surprising tour stop by this prestigious choreographer. “iTMOi” (“In the Mind of Igor”) sounds to be a true re-imagining of Stravinsky’s process as opposed to a simple re-animation of the radical Stravinsky score. The all-original music features Indian, folk and industrial influences with just a few strains of Stravinsky’s own themes.
