"The truth is we are not perfect"

From Sarah Frater in this week's New Statesman :

"Akram Khan himself refuses to be defined by his background. He was brought up a Muslim, and has said that his spirituality is now a "pick and mix" of Muslim, Hindu and Christian influences. He is reluctant to discuss his personal religious beliefs, although a sense of religious tension is clearly a central theme of Sacred Monsters. "The world of classical dance is sacred," he says. "The aim is to represent God. But when you leave the classical world you become a monster. Sacred Monsters is about the truth. And the truth is that we are not perfect."
