Trajal Harrell / Zürich Dance Ensemble

In “Music Music,” Trajal Harrell looks back on more than 20 years of his artistic career and uses music as an archive of memories and stories. The solo showcases his unique approach to various dance styles as well as the subtle humor that characterizes his work.

After presenting group choreographies, Trajal Harrell returns to the festival with a solo piece. While costumes have long been central to his aesthetic, this time music takes center stage—not merely as accompaniment, but as an archive of memories and a narrative that extends far beyond personal experience. His song repertoire from earlier works also serves as a retrospective of over 20 years of artistic creation.

In “Music Music,” Harrell’s choreographic style is also revealed: his perspective on dance genres that seem worlds apart, as well as the subtle humor that characterizes his entire body of work.
