Babel

In 2008, aware of his own North African heritage, we asked Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui if he would like to work with us as part of our Arabic Series. Larbi embraced the challenge, turning the myth of the Tower of Babel, which he set out to build with Antony Gormley. Larbi and his co-choreographer Damien Jalet worked with Sufi musician Fahrettin Yarkin to create stunning performance, inspired by elements of dhikr (remembrance).
