Fusing dance, storytelling, interactive animation and specially composed music, Chotto Desh is a bewitching dance-theatre tale of a young man’s dreams and memories from Britain to Bangladesh, created for children and their families to enjoy together.

The first ever family show created by Akram Khan, one of Britain’s most respected choreographers and dancers, Chotto Desh is reworked from his Olivier Award-winning autobiographical solo show DESH. It is performed by Dennis Alamanos and Nicolas Ricchini on alternate performances.

Bengali for ‘small homeland’, Chotto Desh tells a playful story of a boy who dreams of becoming a dancer, weaving together tales within tales of a son who rebels against the wishes of his father, and of a mythical child who angers the forest gods by collecting their forbidden honey.

There will be a Touch Tour at 12:30.

This performance of Chotto Desh will be audio described by Emma-Jane McHendry and is part of the Edinburgh International Festival programme - http://www.eif.co.uk
