Music Music – Histoire(s) du Théâtre VII
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.
