Jérôme Bel
auto-bio-choréo-graphie
In an autobiographical choreography, Jérôme Bel opens itself, sharing doubts, hopes, engagements, failures and successes. This process recreates the itinerary of a man in incertain times.
As a proof of his engagement in ecological transition, the choreographer has inrols his work along with the dramaturge Katie Mitchell in the Sustainable Theatre Project.
The goal is to offer a work without tours, where new presentations are offered to a new team. I that case, Ayelen Parolin.
