BAHOK

Yesterday, at my local theatre, I watched Bahok. I have to say, of all the things I have seen in theatre, this is by far the best. It is a must see! If you live in London, and know where "Sadler's Well" is, it is well worth ringing them to check if it is on. 


A group of people are stuck in an airport. They come from different backgrounds including Korean, Slovakian, Indian, Spanish, South African and Chinese. 
Bahok is the bengali word for carrier. This play explores the way the body carries identity through dance. It also explores what "home" is for each character.


It was seriously amazing. Here are some videos - please take the time to watch them! The effect isn't as good on a video ... if you know it is near you soon, and you can watch it, do it!










I was left quite speechless.

Love love love,
