The Show Must Go On examines the relationship between art and life, explores the clash of fine art and entertainment and challenges audience expectations. In a minimal set up characteristic of Jérôme Bel’s work, a DJ plays clips of popular songs from past eras to more recent chart-toppers while dancers literally follow the instructions of the song lyrics.

Surprisingly thought-provoking and poignant, it’s a show about how a choreographer uses signs to stir up emotions, evoke associations and create meaning as a dialogue with the imagination of the audience. This performance will be cast with local dancers.
