Regrettably, Akram Khan Company’s performances of Gnosis at the NAC on February 1 and 2 have been cancelled due to injury. Khan has injured his Achilles tendon but is expected to make a full recovery. The production, choreographed and performed by Akram Khan with five musicians, was scheduled to be a special presentation in the NAC Theatre.

Akram Khan Company’s performance of Vertical Road on February 3 & 4 will continue as planned. Due to overwhelming demand, obstructed view seating was already made available for these two performances and NAC Dance will now extend the run to include an additional performance on February 2nd at 7:30pm

Patrons who have already purchased tickets to Gnosis may exchange their tickets for Vertical Road on February 2, for an NAC gift certificate or voucher, or for tickets to another NAC subscription performance -- including Dance, English Theatre, French Theatre, or NAC Orchestra. If they prefer, ticket holders are also entitled to a full refund from the NAC Box Office.
