Resumen

Akram Khan, bailarín y coreógrafo británico de ascendencia bangladeshí, representa la identidad británica en el panorama actual de los Estudios Culturales de Reino Unido incorporando su propia trayectoria de diáspora. Las producciones coreografiadas por Khan proponen resiliencia como una forma de romper con viejos patrones de control y dominación para experimentar una transformación histórica y una evolución que es paralela a su lenguaje artístico y su propia tipología de experiencia migratoria. Con el objetivo de demonstrar que Khan entiende el concepto de resiliencia como agente “trans-sistémico” y de “oposición” (Coleman, 2017; O’Brien, 2015) más allá de proclamas neoliberales. En este artículo se analiza como Khan representa su propia experiencia de diáspora en DESH (2011), la manera en la que ofreció una relectura a los atentados del 7 de julio de 2005 en Londres en la ceremonia de inauguración de los Juegos Olímpicos de la ciudad en 2012 con la pieza “Abide with Me” y cómo denunció y subvirtió las estructuras transnacionales de discriminación por género en las producciones “Dust” (2014) y Until the Lions (2016).
