SUMMARY:Rewritten Narratives: A Comic Workshop at Access Living

SUMMARY:Jungle Book Reimagined at Harris Theater for Music and Dance
DESCRIPTION:Run Time: 2 hours\, including intermission \nChild Policy: Recommended for ages 8+. To help determine whether this performance is appropriate for your child\, we encourage you to seek additional information about the themes in this program. All children attending a performance must have a ticket and be seated next to an adult. \nAudio Description will be available on Saturday\, November 11 / 2:00PM \nChoreographer and director Akram Khan’s eponymous dance company makes its long-awaited Harris Theater debut with the Chicago premiere of Khan’s Jungle Book reimagined\, a deeply personal interpretation based on the original story of Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale. Khan\, whose background is rooted in classical Kathak training and along with contemporary dance\, reinvents the journey of young Mowgli and her animal friends. \nIn a near future world\, a family is torn apart as they escape their homeland\, devastated by the impact of climate change. Arriving alone in a deserted modern city\, and with wild animals claiming the streets as their own\, Mowgli soon discovers unlikely allies in this strange new jungle. \nFeaturing an original new score and state-of-the-art animation and visuals\, Jungle Book reimagined is a compelling and vital piece of storytelling about our intrinsic need to belong and bond with others while connecting with and respecting the natural world around us. \n  \nhttps://www.harristheaterchicago.org/performance/jungle-book-reimagined
