Costume/Dancer: Xiao Ke

The work <Xiao Ke> is presented by Xiao Ke telling her own dance life.This work, reflecting the evolution of Chinese dance art and culture in the past 40 years, is the result of long-distance collision and exchange between the two choreographers under the global epidemic this year. During the period of home isolation in 2020, the two artists completed this special work by means of network conference and online rehearsal, which makes the creation more experimental and pioneering.

Jérôme BEL (Concept)

In his early pieces, Jérôme BEL applied structuralist operations to dance in order to single out the primary elements from theatrical spectacle. His interest subsequently shifted from dance as a stage practice to the issue of the performer as a particular individual. He emphasizes desires to dance instead of choreography. He has been invited to contemporary art biennials and museums, where he has put on performances and shown films. In 2005, he received a Bessie Award for the performances of The Show Must Go On in New York. In 2008, with Pichet Klunchun, he won the Routes Princesse Margriet Award for Cultural Diversity (European Cultural Foundation) for the performance Pichet Klunchun and Myself. Disabled Theater was chosen in 2013 for the Theatertreffen in Berlin and won the Swiss “present-day dance creation” prize.
