The cast of The Mongol Khan perform in Trafalgar Square ahead of London Coliseum run – in pictures

Over 100 costumed cast and crew members of epic new show The Mongol Khan performed in Trafalgar Square in London yesterday.

The performance was ahead of the show’s premiere this Friday 17 November 2023 at the London Coliseum.

Mongolia’s leading theatre company is playing in the UK for the very first time, bringing their lavish production to London performed by an ensemble of over 70 performers.

The show is set in Mongolia, 2000 years ago, as a brutal succession battle threatens the very stability of the Empire. As the great Khan struggles to maintain his supremacy, a plot hatches that will forever alter the balance of power.

The story is brought to life with music, dance, and puppetry, plus elaborate sets and costumes inspired by archeological findings and nomadic traditions of the ancient Hun culture of Central Asia from the Hunnu Empire period.

The creative team for the show includes Hero Baatar (Director), Amundra Amartuvshin and Yesunmunkh Myagmar (Executive Producers), Bayra Bela and Unurmaa Janchiv (Producers), Oliver King (General Manager), Lkhagvasuren Bavuu (Writer), Timberlake Wertenbaker and John Man (English Adaptation), Nick Barnes (Puppet Design), and David Gregory (Sound Design).

The Mongol Khan is playing at the London Coliseum from 17 November to 2 December 2023.
