AKRAM KHAN’S JUNGLE BOOK: REIMAGINED A magical dance retelling of Kipling’s family classic. In a near future world, a family is torn apart as they escape their homeland ravaged by the impact of climate change. Alone in a deserted modern city, and with wild animals claiming the streets as their own, a lone child soon discovers unlikely allies. In Akram Khan’s theatre production based on the original story of Rudyard Kipling’s much-loved family classic, the journey of Mowgli is seen through the eyes of a climate refugee. n Curve Theatre, Leicestershire, LE1 1SB, call 0116 242 3595, www.curveonline.co.uk.
