Jérôme Bel's 'Gala' Debuts at Festival d'Automne
Jérôme Bel's new creation 'Gala' premiered during the Festival d'Automne in Paris in November 2015. The piece is performed primarily by amateur dancers, exploring the performative stakes of the sheer desire to dance. Since the mid-1990s, Bel has been methodically deconstructing conventions of dance and theater. 'Gala' continues this trajectory by foregrounding non-professional performers, challenging traditional hierarchies between artists and audiences. The work was featured in artpress issue n°427 (November 2015, pp. 36-42).
