Presents Jerome Bel

The work of the Paris-based choreographer Jerome Bel is unique. It confirms, antagonises and rigorously metamorphosis's dance structures in a way that is both provocative and exhilarating. Drawing its inspiration from semiotics (the language of symbols and codes), and the minimalist definition of dance as movement in time and space, the result is not dance, but a kind of anti-dance, infused with language, images and ideas. In Bel's theatre of physical presence, he abruptly offers his actors to the audiences and lets their bodies or the objects linked to them tell their own story. These stories often refer to ideas of Identity and its place in the culture - how it is given and how it is taken away.
