DESCRIPTION:Apr 24 - Jun 4\, 2026\nFor his first original story ballet\, Ak
 ram Khan has chosen Macbeth—or rather Lady Macbeth. The celebrated katha
 k-to-contemporary Bangladeshi-British choreographer has swapped out the am
 bitious\, dogged\, eventually cowed husband for his more ruthless wife\, e
 xcept this time the Lady has reason beyond sheer ambition to kill the king
 . King Duncan takes after Shakespeare’s contemporary\, the Scottish King
  James\, who persecuted unhusbanded herbalists possessed of supernatural a
 cumen—otherwise known as witches. In Khan’s version\, Lady Macbeth is 
 herself a seer. “She wants to kill the king to free the world from toxic
  masculinity.” The choreographer got his start onstage with sagas of blo
 ody kings. In the late 1980s\, the London teenager toured internationally 
 with Peter Brook’s nine-hour Mahabharata\, later a television miniseries
 \, then a three-hour film. He partook in all its iterations—years in the
  making. For this Royal Danish Ballet production\, Khan won the current ba
 llet world equivalent of that extravagant commitment: three months in the 
 studio with nine RDB principals. They have become more than the Royal Dani
 sh Ballet’s usual consummate dance-actors\, he says. They have become th
 e story\, the script.
