Jérôme Bel: "Gala"

Jérôme Bel's "Gala": Innovative Dance

Featuring amateurs, professionals and everyone in between, the 20 dancers of "Gala" will be cast in NYC from all walks of life. Through their movement, the gentle humanity of each performer lights up this inspired production. Breaking the sanctity of the stage, this is a jumble of joys, failures, and stumbling insights into the uniting power of dance. Jérôme Bel, the "mischievously entertaining" ("The Guardian") Paris-based choreographer, explores the relationship between choreography and popular culture, dancer and audience, often using humor to break the formality of a theater apparatus.
