Tanz in Bern: Trajal Harrell / Zürich Dance Ensemble «A Ghost Ballet (from the collection)» MO 2.11.26 20:00 Duration: 35 minutes Language: no language Sensory hints: none Content hints: none The American choreographer Trajal Harrell is one of the most influential innovators of contemporary dance. With «A Ghost Ballet», he returns to an open, experimental working method after major stage productions. Inspired by the Japanese Butoh pioneer Tatsumi Hijikata, an evening is created between rehearsal and performance, research and performance – characterized by encounter, risk, and the creative moment of the unpredictable. Dampfzentrale: Trajal Harrell reaches a place within us through his art that is hard to put into words. On stage, he radiates an irresistible and profoundly moving presence – proud and vulnerable, elegant and stubborn at the same time. From voguing, butoh, and contemporary dance, he forms a language that merges the past and present, intimacy, and dance history. Experiencing his works, people see others with different eyes. And yes, his performances sometimes even move to tears. More information on the website of Dampfzentrale Bern
