Jérôme Bel Tickets

Directed by Steve Cosson
Performed by April Matthis

“[Jérôme Bel] has cleverly and irreverently been stripping dance to its essentials” —The New York Times

A defining artist of Crossing The Line since its inception in 2008, seminal choreographer Jérôme Bel opens this year’s festival with a career retrospective he calls “auto-bio-choreo-graphy.” For ecological reasons, Bel no longer travels by plane; instead, acclaimed Broadway actress April Matthis plays him, challenging the boundaries between art and interpretation, performance and archive. A blend of filmed dance documentation, monologue, and live restaging, this unexpected evening is both a survey of past creation and a gesture of constant reinvention.

Special guest appearance by Catherine Gallant.
