Zero degree is the point of origin that´s thematic focus of the new dance show of the artists Akram Khan and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. They bring together their etnical and religious raices and draw on this meeting of culture in their work. By searching for the point zero they contrast polar opposites as birth/death, light/dark and chaos/order. Two excellent dance artists produce a thrilling dance dailogue full of different styles and an interesting interpretation of their origins. The difference in their work emerge from their different languages, the rigid formation of the technics of Khan and the extraordinary intuitive ability of Larbi. From 28th to 30th the dance show will be presented in the Mercat de Flors  in Barcelona. More Infos: http://www.mercatflors.org/web3/mercatflors.php?p=ficha&id=148
