In-I, the opening event of the 2009 Next Wave Festival sounds very interesting. It is directed and performed by Oscar-winning actor Juliet Binoche and choreographer Akram Kahn.

"I never know what I'm capable of doing before I do it." These words, spoken by Oscar-winning actor Juliette Binoche (Caché, The English Patient, Blue), capture the intrepid spirit—indeed the daring—behind In-I,
an intensely visceral dance-theater work conceived, directed, and
performed by Binoche and the adventurous British choreographer Akram
Khan (Steve Reich @ 70, 2006 Next Wave Festival). Together,
these charismatic artists arrive at something entirely new, as an actor
dances and a dancer acts.
Incandescent and delicate, Binoche
moves with surprising force, always in lockstep with Khan's virtuosity
and power. Accompanied by an evocative, mercurial score and performed
before a luminous wall designed by British sculptor Anish Kapoor, the
couple's exchanges are thrust into relief, revealing the intricacies of
a love affair, in all its glory and all its pain.
Hi
I live in Australia and would have love to see “In-I”, is this production still touring, and if so, can you please give me details of where and when?
Cheers
