Jérôme Bel is a performance by renowned French choreographer Jérôme Bel that he considers to be an “auto-bio-choreo-graphy.” Recalling the origins of his inspiration and the fundamental aspects of his work over the years, Bel links the personal to the artistic and political. This innovative dance work communicates his doubts, commitments, aspirations, and failures. For this presentation at REDCAT, scholar and practitioner of dance and performance Ariel Osterweis will interpret the text with a company of LA-based dancers and performers surveying Bel’s career. Featuring performed as well as documented excerpts of Bel’s decades-long and pioneering work, the format of the piece responds to the principle adopted by Bel’s dance company, for ecological reasons, with the specific work always reinterpreted by a local performer in the language of the country where it is shown.
Presented in English and French with English subtitles in the film excerpts.
Please note: Jérôme Bel contains nudity.
