24.11.2007 - French ballerina Sylvie Guillem travelled to Las Palmas to perform her enormously successful Sacred Monsters show, a unique blend of classical dancing and Indian-inspired music, despite the serious illness of her British co-dancer Akhram Khan, who was in a critical condition in a Swiss hospital on the day Guillem had to fly to the Canaries.

The 42-year-old former star of the Paris Ballet and Royal Ballet in London asked to be excused from giving the usual pre-show press conference at the Cuyás Theatre because of the circumstances.

She was booked to perform in Las Palmas over a year ago and the organisers thought she might have to pull out in view of long-term partner Khan’s condition.
