Jérôme Bel

In an hour and a half celebration of music, good humour and dance, Jérôme Bel laconically raises a number of major questions about art, how it works, and what it is good for. In a characteristically minimal setting, Bel stages a DJ playing hits from the last ten years. One by one, some twenty actors enter the stage. They are no different from you and me, the music is no different from what you hear on the radio or at home. There are no eye-catching costumes, the action requires no virtuosity and the theatrical machinery remains largely unused. But the show goes on, because Jérôme Bel has understood that the show does not take place on stage, but in the heads of the audience. He makes our thoughts dance, thwarts our expectations, yields to our surprises and amazes us with his ability to do so much with so little.
