When Jérôme Bel revisits his own body of work, dance steps to the forefront! A cinematic exploration of a vital journey.
Everyone knows Jérôme Bel, the global icon of meta-choreography. This Retrospective provides an opportunity to revisit twenty-five years of his original productions, revealing the many layers of an emblematic career. In 1994, Bel surprised the dance world with Nom donné par l’auteur, redefining our way of looking at the art of choreography and the status of the performer. Social and symbolic issues have dominated approaches to his work. Yet today Jérôme Bel is freer than ever, enjoyable and flamboyant. In Gala (2015), he put an end to the hierarchy between professionals and amateurs. One excerpt after another, the film allows us to appreciate this evolution, which was in fact already evident in the first productions of a constantly shifting body of work. Though not a performance, this an overview by the artist himself.
