Of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, the screen’s most celebrated dance partners, Katharine Hepburn is famously said to have declared that he gave her class, while she gave him sex appeal. Juliette Binoche and Akram Khan each have both those qualities in spades, so what did they stand to gain from teaming up for a terpsichorean collaboration on the London stage?
