Embark on a thrilling adventure in a future world ravaged by climate change. Join a family's escape to a modern city, where a child discovers allies among wild animals. Presented by one of the most celebrated and respected dance artists today, Akram Khan's Jungle Book reimagined is a captivating dance-theatre production that reinvents the journey of Mowgli through the eyes of a climate refugee.

Dive into a magical world with your family and celebrate the importance of belonging and respecting nature. Featuring an original score, ten international dancers and state-of-the-art animation and visuals, Jungle Book reimagined is a beautifully compelling and vital piece of storytelling that is not to be missed.
